How To Make Chicken Biryani 

Chicken biryani is a delicious and flavorful Indian dish that's perfect for any occasion. It can further be described as a savory chicken and rice dish that includes layers of chicken, rice, and aromatics that are steamed together. In this blog post, I will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to make chicken biryani at home.

INGREDIENTS:-

For The Rice: 

• 2 cups Basmati Rice
• 4 cups Water
• 2 Bay Leaves
• 3-4 Cloves
• 2-3 Cardamom Pods
• Salt for taste 

For The Chicken:

• 1 Pound Chicken (Small Pieces)
• 1 Onion (Finely Chopped)
• 2 Tomatoes (Finely Chopped)
• 1 Tablespoon Ginger-Garlic Paste
• 2-3 Green Chilies (Chopped)
• 1 Teaspoon Cumin Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Coriander Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
• 1/4 Cup Yoghurt
• 2 Tablespoon Oil
• Salt for taste 

For Layering: 

• 1/4 Cup Fried Onions
• 1/4 Chopped Coriander Leaves
• 1/4 Cup Mint Leaves
• 2 Tablespoon Ghee 

INSTRUCTIONS:-

• Rinse the basmati rice under running water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.

• In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the bay leaves, cloves, cardamom pods, and salt. Add the soaked rice to the pot and cook until the rice is 80% cooked. Drain the rice and set aside.

• In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent. Add the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chilies and sauté for another minute.

• Add the chopped tomatoes, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, and salt. Mix well and cook until the tomatoes are soft and mushy.

• Add the chicken pieces to the pan and mix well. Add 1/4 cup of yogurt and mix well. Cover the pan and cook the chicken until it is tender and fully cooked.

• In a large pot, layer the rice and chicken mixture. Start with a layer of rice, followed by a layer of chicken, and then a layer of fried onions, coriander leaves, and mint leaves. Repeat the layers until all the rice and chicken mixture is used up.

• Drizzle 2 tablespoons of ghee on top of the layered biryani.

• Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the biryani is fully cooked.

• Once the biryani is fully cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

• Serve the chicken biryani hot with raita, a yogurt-based side dish.
