Ingredients:
For Marinating Chicken:
- 500g chicken, cut into pieces
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- Salt to taste
For Rice:
- 2 cups basmati rice
- 4 cups water
- 1 bay leaf
- 2-3 green cardamom pods
- 2-3 cloves
- Salt to taste
For Biryani:
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2-3 green chilies, slit
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro (coriander leaves)
- 1/2 cup chopped mint leaves
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- Saffron strands soaked in 2 tbsp warm milk (optional)
Instructions:
- Marinate the chicken with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Wash the rice and soak it for 30 minutes. Then, cook the rice with water, bay leaf, cardamom, cloves, and salt until it's 70% cooked. Drain and set aside.
- Heat oil and ghee in a large, heavy-bottomed pan. Add cumin seeds and sauté the sliced onions until they turn golden brown. Remove half of the fried onions for garnish.
- Add the marinated chicken and cook until it's partially done. Add the chopped tomatoes, green chilies, and cook until the tomatoes soften.
- Layer the partially cooked rice on top of the chicken. Sprinkle garam masala, saffron milk, half of the chopped mint, and cilantro.
- Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low heat for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken and rice are fully cooked and the flavors meld together.
- Garnish with the remaining fried onions, mint, and cilantro.
- Serve hot with raita or salan (spicy gravy) on the side.
