Rice is a staple food for many Indians. Infact in our area, it is abundantly grown in many parts. Many people made rice from the paddy at home and store them to consume throughout the year. We have many variety of dishes cooked at home. From simple white rice combined with some spicy veggies and lentils, to yellow rice to veg biryani to non-veg biryani.
The most loved recipe among the Indians at home or at any restaurant is Biryani, either made up of vegetable or made up of Chicken. My sister is one of the best cook who serve chicken delicies at home. Her speciLity is Chicken Egg Biryani. A great combo with Indian spices.
Chicken Biryani is a mixture of spices, Boiled Eggs, Chicken pieces, mint leaves, coriander leaves,Dry fruits, fried onions, and yogurt. These ingredients are combined marinated for at least half an hour, and then cooked together with rice, fried onions, and coriander leaves. The meat and spices will eventually flavor the rice to give a fabulous aroma and taste.
Whenever I visit her place, this is my preferred menu in lunch or dinner, I liked it so much that she now prepare it in advance before I reach. For her it is easily made item and she can prepare it hardly 30 min. More importantly it was the aroma that would simply make crave for it. Whenever she cook, whole room get filled with delicious aroma.
I once asked her of tye recipe and she told me like this. For serving for 2 people, one need to have :
To cook her recipe, she cooked all 3 items differently. She put tge rice to cook in a pressure cooker.
She wash and marinate the chicken with yogurt, Chopped onions, Turmeric, Salt. She left tye chicken for 15 min and then using a frying pan, she cooked it seperatelly.
On the other hand she boiled the egg on egg boiler and later fried it as well.
The three items were then bought together to make a special combo. Once chicken is ready, egg is ready and rice is cooked. She placed them in a microwave. Well there is another catch as well. Before placing them to.microwave, she made 3 differrnt layers.
Firstly of Rice, then added Fried chicken, then covered it again with Rice and the placed the Boiled fried egg.
This way of cooking has a special significance. By doing this tge aroma, and taste of rice , chicken and eggs get properly mixed with each other. And thus increases its taste.
Now leaving the mixture to cook for 15 min in microwave. The slow hearing allow to steam and cook all tye three items properly. After 15 min, our special Cgicken Egg Biryani is ready to be served.
Before serving, she garnished tye dish with fried onions and some dry fruits. The moment, she started to serve them on plate, the aroma and my hunger started to give up. I am ready to crave for it more and more.
Tje more I eat, the more I get hungry.
I must say the taste was too delicious. It was far better cooked than the the one available in big restaurants. It's been many months since I ate any chicken and now, as pandemic is spreading we simply avoid all outside food. But I cant avoid the Delicies cooked at home. Now being into isolation alone at home, I only cherish these food items and remember tye good old days.
