To make your chicken biryani taste really really delicious, do these two steps: shallow fry the marinated chicken and cook the rice in chicken broth or water used for cooking chicken and masala. For making this biryani, I went a little over board and incorporated both the two amazing ways. I first shallow fried the chicken and combined it with the onion\/tomato masala, cooked for some more time along with water so that the water gets flavorful. Drained the water and used that to cook the rice. This biryani had a blast of flavors, tasted so so delicious. I always finish off the biryani with fried onions, roasted cashew nuts\/raisins and cilantro\/mint.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12371\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/chicken_biryani.jpg\" alt=\"chicken_biryani\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/chicken_biryani.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/chicken_biryani-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/chicken_biryani-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Chicken-Biryani.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Chicken Biryani &#8211; Using Fried Chicken and Rice cooked in Chicken broth<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Biryani<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT10M\">10 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT1H15M\">1 hour 15 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT1H25M\">1 hour 25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">6 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For marinating chicken[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chicken, bone-in pieces- 10 to 12 pieces<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Kashmiri red chili powder- 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coriander powder- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garam masala- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger-garlic paste- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Lemon juice- juice of 1\/2 lemon<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]Frying chicken[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- enough to shallow fry chicken<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]To grind[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger, chopped- 2 inch<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garlic, chopped- 4 cloves<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green chili- 3<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For making masala[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 4 tbsp, used for shallow frying chicken<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cardamom- 3<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cloves- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cinnamon sticks- 2 inch slices<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Bay leaves- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Onion, cut long and thin (red or yellow)- 4<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Tomatoes, chopped-2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For cooking rice[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ghee- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole cardamom, slightly smashed- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Basmati rice, rinsed in water- 2 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 2 cups liquid from chicken masala + 2 cups water<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For garnishing[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Fried onion- 1 cut thin and long fried in oil used for frying chicken<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cashew nuts roasted in 1\/2 tbsp ghee<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Raisins roasted in 1\/2 tbsp ghee<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cilantro, chopped- 2 handful<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mint, chopped- 15 leaves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a large bowl, marinate the chicken with the above mentioned ingredients &#8220;for marinating chicken&#8221;, keep aside for an hour or overnight if you prefer.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Shallow fry the marinated chicken in oil till the chicken turns light golden in color, keep aside the fried chicken.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">To the bowl used for marinating chicken, add 4 tbsp water, combine well with the leftover marinade paste.
