Description
Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani is a world famous biryani that originated in the city of Hyderabad, India. It is absolutely addictively delicious and you are missing out big time if you haven’t tasted it!
After loads of takeaways and experimenting I finally nailed the taste of Restaurant Style Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani, so I wanted to share it with you! I have also included a recipe of a simple raita that is served along with the biryani!
Ingredients
Fresh Garam Masala for Biryani
Biryani
Raita (Yogurt mix eaten with Biriyani)
Instructions
- Set a pan on medium heat
- Add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon sticks (broken in small pieces), 2 teaspoons of cloves, 2 pieces of star anise, 2 teaspoons of green cardamom and 2 medium sized bay leaves
- Stir for ~3 minutes till they turn aromatic
- Transfer everything to a grinder jar along with a small piece of javitri (mace)
- Grind to a fine powder and store it in a air tight container for future use
- Add saffron into the milk
- Add a drop of rose essence and a drop of kewra essence into the milk
- Add a pinch of orange food color and mix well
- Pour half of the orange-colored milk in a separate bowl and add a pinch of red color to it
- To the chicken add 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
- Add kashmiri red chilli powder, 90% of the garlic paste, 90% of the ginger paste, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, cardamom powder, half of the coriander leaves, half of the mint leaves, approximately 2 teaspoons of salt and oil.
- Mix thoroughly and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes
- To a pan set on medium heat add approximately 2 tablespoons of oil
- Add cumin seeds and shahi jeera. Once they start to splutter, add thinly sliced onions and keep stirring until they become dark brown in color. This should take approximately 15 minutes.
- Keep aside approximately 2 tablespoons of the fried onion for garnish
- To the rest of the onions in the pan add the marinated chicken and mix well
- Place the lid on and let it cook for approximately 10 minutes while stirring intermittently. The chicken should be cooked through by then
- Keep stirring the chicken on medium heat so it browns a little
- Add green chillies and mix well
- Add salt till the chicken tastes slightly salty because it is going to be mixed with a lot of rice
- For 3.5 cups of rice you need approximately 4 liters of water
- Add enough salt to the water so it tastes like sea water. For approximately 4 liters of water we need about 8 to 9 teaspoons of salt
- Add the remaining fresh lime juice, the remaining ginger garlic paste, the remaining garam masala and mix thoroughly
- Once the water comes to a boil add the pre-soaked basmati rice
- Cook till the rice is 90% done (the rice should break easily but not be pasty) this should take approximately 15 minutes on medium heat
- Strain the rice
- Take a flat pan and set it on medium heat
- On this flat pan place the chicken pan. This prevents the chicken from burning while the biryani cooks
- Add 2 tablespoons of ghee to the chicken and mix well
- Beat the yogurt till its smooth and pour it on the chicken
- Spread the rice (immediately after straining) evenly on the chicken
- Sprinkle the orange and red colored saffron milk on the rice
- Garnish with the remaining coriander leaves, mint leaves, and fried onions and place the lid on
- Make sure that the vent of the lid is covered
- Let the rice cook on medium heat for 10 minutes and then on low heat for 15 minutes
- Add yogurt in a big bowl
- Add approximately 3/4 teaspoon of salt
- Beat the yogurt till it’s smooth
- If the yogurt is too thick add some water
- Add lime juice, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, chopped green chillies and chopped coriander leaves
- Give it a good mix
