Instructions
- Rinse the rice in cold water then leave to soak and set aside
- In a large saucepan bring a pot of water to a boil then drain the rice and add to the pan before giving it a stir to spread the rice in the pan
- Allow the rice to gently simmer for 12-15 minutes until 80% cooked – at this point the rice grains should have expanded but they will still be relatively hard
- As the rice is cooking in a large pan heat up the oil on medium heat until hot
- Add the whole spices to the oil and sauté for 1 minute until aromatic.
- Add the onions to the pan and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they become lightly browned.
- Add the chicken to the pan and cook it, stirring, until the color changes and it’s no longer pink.
- Sprinkle the biryani masala evenly over the chicken and mix well to coat.
- Add the ginger paste and garlic paste, stirring them into the chicken mixture until combined.
- Add the tomatoes to the pan and cook until they soften and blend into the mixture, forming a thick base.
- Add salt, fried onions (half), and green chilies to the pan, mixing thoroughly to enhance the flavour.
- Add the yoghurt to the pan, stir well, and let the mixture cook for 8-10 minutes on medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Spread the 90% boiled rice evenly over the chicken mixture in the pan.
- Garnish the top with fried onions and fresh coriander.
- Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 minutes to allow the rice to steam and absorb the flavors.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious biryani!
