Instructions to make Chicken Biryani:
- First step as always, get all your ingredients laid out and measured so you can easily cook along. Also at this point, rinse your 2 cups of rice in cool water and leave to soak for 30 mins.
- While the rice is soaking, cut the chicken into larger pieces than a typical curry, and place in a large bowl. I used chicken breasts here but thighs or legs will be perfect too.
- Add the yoghurt and all the other *marinade ingredients to the chicken
- and mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for around 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring the oil to a high heat and carefully put a handful of the sliced onions in there.
- As the onions brown, take them out and add the next handful.
- When removed, put the fried onions on a paper towel to soak up the excess oil.
- Next, boil a pot of water, then strain and add the basmati rice that you had soaking previously.
- Optionally, throw in a bay leaf, a couple of green cardamon pods and a couple of whole cloves to the rice.
- When the rice is 50% done, take it off the heat and strain it. Should only take about 5 minutes. Pluck out the cardamon and cloves and discard.
- Now to bring it all together, oil a pan and lay out the marinated chicken so all the chicken pieces are on the bottom. Take out the cinnamon stick and optionally the cloves here and discard.
- Next add a layer of half the rice, and toss half of the fried onions, mint and coriander on top.
- Repeat the last step adding another layer, then lastly randomly pour the milk and saffron mix for colour.
- Firmly add a well fitting top to your pan. This is really important to keep the chicken juicy and delicious. You can wrap a damp cloth around the lid to seal it if needed. Now cook on medium for 5 minutes.
- lower the heat to about a quarter and cook for another 15 minutes. Then remove from the heat and let it stand for another 5 minutes before removing the lid and serving!
