Ingredients

    • 600 grams basmati rice
    • 1 kilograms chicken thighs
    • 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
    • salt as required
    • 2 pinches saffron
    • 2 teaspoon coriander powder
    • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
    • 1 tablespoon garlic paste
    • 4 green chilli
    • 2 tablespoon tomato puree
    • 300 grams tomato
    • 400 grams white onion
    • 2 teaspoon cumin seeds
    • 8 green cardamom
    • 6 tablespoon refined oil

For Marination

  • 1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon powdered turmeric
  • 6 tablespoon plain greek yogurt

How to prepare

Step 1 / 6 – Marinate The Chicken For 20-30 Minutes

To prepare this mouth-watering biryani recipe, you have to marinate the chicken. For the same, take a large bowl and add Greek yoghurt in it along with turmeric, chili powder along with salt as per your taste in a small bowl. Mix well using a spoon and then, add the chicken thighs in the mixture and rub with this mixture. Keep aside for about 20-30 minutes, so that the yogurt mixture is properly absorbed by the chicken. Also, soak saffron in the milk to make saffron milk and keep aside.

 

Step 2 / 6 – Saute Onions And Tomatoes For 2-3 Minutes

In the meanwhile, pour refined oil in a deep-bottomed pan, keeping it on medium flame. Add cumin seeds and green cardamom in it and saute for about 2 minutes. Once done, immediately add the sliced onion and fry for 2-3 minutes straight. Make sure you don’t burn it, so when the onion starts to get brown in color, add tomatoes and tomato puree and fry for another 5 minutes.

 

Step 3 – Add The Marinated Chicken To The Mixture

Next, add the slit green chilies to the mixture along with ginger-garlic paste, frying the mixture yet again for a minute. Then, add coriander powder and turn the flame to medium-low while stirring and cooking the masala. Quickly, add the marinated chicken and mix for a while so that the ingredients absorb the juices properly.

 

Step 4- Add half of the boiled rice in the pan and keep the rest aside until required. Sprinkle milk soaked saffron along with garam masala, mint and coriander leaves. Put the remaining rice over this layer and garnish with the same mentioned four ingredients.

Step 6 – Serve HotLastly, cover the lid, turn the flame to low medium and let the rice cook for about 5 minutes. Once done, put it off and let the biryani stay covered for about another 10 minutes. Serve hot with Kachumbari and a cold drink.

Enjoy!
