How to Make Chicken Biryani

Chicken biryani is a very delicious meal from Asia, India and Pakistan in particular. To make chicken biryani, ingredients such as basmati rice, chicken, onion, cinnamon, cloves, cardamoms, cumin, nutmeg powder, turmeric, saffron, yogurt and garlic-ginger paste are used. Spices such as ghee, cinnamon, cloves and cardamoms are usually added to the list of ingredients for flavor.

Methods for creating this meal vary. One technique, however, is to take about half a kilo of flour add 1 to 2 cups of water and mix them together really well. When that is done, set the mixture off to the side as dough for later. Next, they take the chicken and marinate it in a combination of saffron, turmeric, chili powder, crushed onions and ginger-garlic paste. After that, the chicken is left to sit for about one hour to soak in the mixture.

Next, boil one and a half liter of water then add the rice along with the variety of spices previously mentioned. When the rice is about half done, drain the water and place a layer of rice in with the chicken. Then sprinkle on some saffron, fried onions and ghee. Remember the dough? Take that and seal the pot lid. Use the high cooking heat for about ten minutes then switch to reduced heat when it begins to sizzle.

Although the entire process takes a bit more time than other meals, it is well worth the effort. The end result turns out to be a very worth-while and scrumptious meal that all can enjoy.Enjoy your tasty Chicken biryani.
