Indian chicken biryani is a tasty and aromatic dish made with basmati rice, marinated chicken, herbs, and spices. The following is a recipe for chicken biryani:
Ingredients:
For the marinade for the chicken:
1 pound of boneless, skinless, and diced chicken thighs or breasts
Yoghurt, plain, one cup
Lemon juice, two tablespoons
2 tablespoons of cumin powder
2 tablespoons of coriander, ground
Turmeric, 1 teaspoon
1 paprika teaspoon
one tablespoon of chilli powder
1 salt shaker
Regarding the biryani
a serving of basmati rice
three water cups
1 big, sliced onion
1 inch of fresh ginger that has been peeled and minced, along with 4 minced garlic cloves
Vegetable oil, two tablespoons
1-stick of cinnamon
4 pods of cardamom
(4) cloves
Bay leaf, one
Saffron threads, 14 teaspoons, steeped in 1/4 cup of boiling water.
Salt, as desired
fresh cilantro chopped, as a garnish
For garnish, use fried onions
Instructions:
Combine the chicken pieces with the yoghurt, salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and chilli powder in a sizable bowl. For at least an hour or overnight, cover and chill.
Make sure the water flows clean when you rinse the rice in cold water. Bring the 3 cups of water to a boil in a big pot. Add a dash of salt and the rice. Simmer for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is soft and the water has been absorbed, on low heat with the lid on. Remove from the heat, then reserve.
The oil should be heated over medium-high heat in a big, deep skillet or Dutch oven. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring regularly, or until the onion is tender and transparent.
To the skillet, add the bay leaf, cloves, cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick. Cook the spices for a further 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are fragrant.
Cook the marinated chicken in the skillet for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is thoroughly done.
In the skillet, arrange the chicken on top of the cooked rice. Over the rice, pour the saffron water. Cook the rice for 10 to 15 minutes, covered, over low heat, or until it is hot and steaming.
Before serving, garnish the biryani with chopped cilantro and fried onions.
Have a great meal of chicken biryani!
