CHICKEN BIRYANI

Chicken Biryani is a delicious savoury rice dish that is loaded with spicy marinated chicken, caramelized onions, and flavourful saffron rice. For my Biryani, I simplify the order of operations, while retaining the traditional layered approach to assembling it.

STEPS
  • To marinate the chicken for the biryani, combine the oil , garlic, ginger, chili peppers, mint, cilantro, garam masala, cinnamon and salt during a large bowl and stir together. Add the chicken pieces and toss together ensuring the chicken is thoroughly coated within the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for a minimum of 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • In a pot wide enough to carry the chicken during a single layer, add the ghee and onions and sauté the onions until they're well caramelized (15-20 minutes). Transfer the caramelized onions to a bowl and set aside.
  • Caramelized onions add a pleasing sweetness to contrast the spicy chicken within the Biryani.
  • While the onions caramelize, prepare the rice by washing during a strainer under cold running water until the water runs clear.
