BEST CHICKEN BIRYANI IN THE WORLD!!!
plz follow the complete procedure to taste this wonderful biriyani
.Ingredients required for making this(serves 10)
Wash basmati and soak at least 1 hour before.
Make the stock-In a pressure cooker take the lesser desired parts of the chicken like neck and all, add a handful of onions alongwith a tbsp each of ginger and garlic as well as some garam masala and bay leaves and give 5-6 whistles, strain and keep stock aside.
Fry rest of the chicken in desi ghee, till golden brown,drain and keep aside.
In the same ghee fry the onions ,ginger and garlic till golden, drain and keep aside.
Now fry the nuts and raisins in this ghee.
Soak saffron in milk.
Take a heavy bottom pot like the one shown above,OR you can use whatever you have at hand. Bring the stock to a boil, add 2 tbsp garam masala to it, then the drained rice, add salt .Let rice cook covered till almost done.
Add chicken and onion, ginger garlic fried , dot with butter/ghee.
Add chopped mint, dry fruit and saffron.
Squeeze lemon juice,add rest of garam masala and saunf powder, adjust seasoning , you can add finely sliced green chillies too.Combine everything well very, very gently so as not to break the rice.
Seal top of pot with some dough, put on "dum" (put in moderate oven or on slow heat for 10-15 minutes).
Though it does take time and effort to make a good biryani, I hope this pictorial will be helpful for first timers as well as for the seasoned cook.The biryani has a FULL-BODIED flavor, we enjoyed ours with some pomegranate yogurt and a glass of wine.I am really happy to finally have the recipe and that too with such clarity so that my mother's legacy is passed down to future generations and the taste that was in her hand can be revived and remembered for years to come.
HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE RECIPE
