Instructions
For The Marination:
- Take a bowl and marinate the chicken pieces in 1 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon ginger- garlic paste and little salt for 1 hour.
For Making fried onions:
- Using a sharp knife slice the onions very thinly.
- Heat oil in a pan or korai. Put the onions in the oil and reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Keep stirring the onions, so that they get evenly browned.
- The trick is to evenly and slowly brown the onions.
- If the flame is very high the onions will burn on the outside and remain watery on the inside.
- Once a uniform color is obtained, drain on thick layer of kitchen paper, so that maximum oil is soaked.
- Keep these aside. As they cool down, the onions will become crispy.
For Making Rice:
- In a deep and wide sauce pan boil lots of water (at least 2000ml)
- Add soaked rice along with 1 tablespoon oil, 2 stick cinnamon, 3-4 cloves, 2 green cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon of Shahi jeera and more salt.
- The rice should absorb the salt otherwise the biryani will be tasteless.
- Boil on a high flame.
- When rice is 80% cooked strain the rice and spread it out on a flat tray or surface, so that it cools faster.
Preparing the Chicken:
- Heat oil/ghee in a deep pan, add the remaining bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon and green cardamoms.
- When they crackle, add the ginger, garlic and chilie powder, coriender powder, salt to test, turmeric powder, nutmeg-mace powder, cumin powder,almond paste,sugar.
- Saute for a minute and add the marinated chicken, along with the marinade.
- Cook on a medium heat till all the water dries up (water from the chicken and yogurt).
- Add the milk 1/2 of the fried onions and cook till all the water dries up.
