Making chicken biryani can be quite a task, but with the right ingredients and preparation, you can make an easy and delicious dish. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make the perfect chicken biryani recipe:
1. Start by marinating the chicken. Combine yogurt, garam masala, red chili powder, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Add chicken pieces and mix well to coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Prepare the rice. Wash and rinse basmati rice until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 15 minutes. Drain the water after 15 minutes.
3. Heat oil in a pan. Add cardamom, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cloves, and onion slices. Fry until the onion slices are golden brown.
4. Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
5. Now add the soaked rice to the pan along with 3-4 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes or until the rice is almost cooked.
6. Place a layer of fried onions, a layer of cooked chicken, and a layer of cooked rice in a pot. Sprinkle some saffron dissolved in milk over the layers. Repeat this process for 3-4 times.
7. Cover the pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 25-30 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Turn off the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
