Chicken Dum Biryani recipe

Ingredients:

For Marinating the Chicken:

500g chicken pieces
1 cup yogurt
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp garam masala
Salt to taste
For Rice:

2 cups long-grain Basmati rice
Water for cooking rice
2-3 cloves
2-3 green cardamom pods
1-inch cinnamon stick
Salt to taste
For Biryani:

2 onions, thinly sliced
2 tomatoes, chopped
2-3 green chilies, slit
Fresh coriander and mint leaves
A pinch of saffron strands soaked in 2 tbsp warm milk
Ghee or oil for cooking
Whole garam masala (cloves, cardamom, cinnamon)
Ghee for layering (optional)
Instructions:

Marinate the chicken in yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Leave it for at least 30 minutes.

Wash and soak the rice for 30 minutes. Then, cook it with water, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt until it's 70% cooked. Drain and set aside.

In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat ghee or oil. Add the whole garam masala and sliced onions. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.

Add the marinated chicken and cook until it's partially cooked. Then, add chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the tomatoes soften.

Layer the partially cooked rice over the chicken mixture. Sprinkle fresh coriander and mint leaves, saffron milk, and ghee (if using).

Seal the pan with a tight-fitting lid or dough to trap steam. Cook on low heat (dum) for about 20-30 minutes.

Once done, gently fluff the biryani with a fork.

Your Chicken Dum Biryani is ready to be served. Enjoy it with raita or salan (a side dish)!
