Chicken Biryani Ingredients
Chicken -
Choose country chicken or broiler chicken which would be great for this gravy. Make sure its tender and fresh.
Rice -
Basmati Rice / long grained rice is recommended for this biryani. However alternatively you can use seeraga samba rice or sona masoori rice.
Ginger garlic paste -
Biryani is incomplete without adding ginger garlic paste.
Spice Powders -
I have used turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, coriander powder.
Curd / Yogurt -
Thick curd neutralizes the hotness of the spice powders.
Coconut Milk -
Coconut milk elevates the taste of the biryani.
Masala Paste -
A special masala paste is prepared using coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies and tomatoes.
Onions -
Onions are sliced thin, fried to crisp and added at the final stage.
Tomatoes & Herbs -
Tomatoes gives tanginess to the dish and are added with chopped mint leaves & coriander leaves for flavor while marinating.
Spices -
Cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf, cardamom are seasoned in ghee / oil.
How to make Chicken Biryani Step by Step
1.Soak basmati rice in water for at least 20 minutes, set aside. Grind the ingredients under 'to grind' with little water to a fine paste. Set aside. Clean chicken and rinse it thrice , add turmeric powder and set aside.
2.Heat oil+ghee in a pressure cooker and add the items under 'to temper' then add ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute. Then add onion and saute till its golden brown. Then add tomato, saute till raw smell leaves.
3.Then add coriander mint paste and saute for 2 minutes. Then add curd, chicken along with turmeric, red chili, coriander, garam masala powders and required salt.
4.Saute till it forms a thick gravy and chicken changes color. Add 1 cup of water and pressure cook for 3 whistles. Once pressure releases, open and give a quick stir.
5.Drain water from rice and add it to the gravy, stir once. Then add coconut milk.
6.Pressure cook for 3 whistles(After first whistle simmer it). Once pressure releases fluff it with a fork carefully without breaking the rice. Serve hot with onion raita.
Thalicha and onion raita are the best combination for non veg biriyani.
Expert Tips
If you like the lemon flavor, squeeze lemon juice once the biryani is done.
I usually use 1:1.5 cups for rice : water ratio so have given the measures accordingly. But you can use the measurement according to the variety of basmati rice you use.
Measure water and coconut milk accordingly.
This is less spicy so adjust spice level according to your taste.

Biriyani looks too good!!! I am new to non-veg cooking. Since my husband likes chicken, I want to make this for him. I have a question (it may look silly though :-)) can you please tell me if we can use boneless chicken for this recipe. If yes, what kind of boneless chicken should I buy?

Tried this biryani last night...it came out so good...I skipped the coconut milk thinking it would make the biryani sweet. But even without adding it the biryani was sweet. Should i increase the chilli powder or the green chillies for good spicy biryani.

Chicken Biryani is a flavorful, aromatic one pot dish made by cooking chicken along with basmati rice, aromatic herbs and spices. The taste of this Chicken Biryani lingers till the next special meal\!
Each household will have their family recipe for biryani and this is from amma who makes the best biryani. I love mutton biryani more than chicken biryani and also seera samba rice is apt for biryani. I have given recipe here with basmati rice you can use other rice varieties which suits biryani too.
Last year, a reader had asked me why I did not post for bakrid and ramzan - Trust me it did not strike me and also I did not have the courage to cook nonveg that time. Many readers asked for the chicken biryani recipe and finally here I am with it for Ramzan Special.

## Chicken Biryani Ingredients
- **Chicken -** Choose country chicken or broiler chicken which would be great for this gravy. Make sure its tender and fresh.
- **Rice -** Basmati Rice / long grained rice is recommended for this biryani. However alternatively you can use seeraga samba rice or sona masoori rice.
- **Ginger garlic paste -** Biryani is incomplete without adding ginger garlic paste.
- **Spice Powders -** I have used turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, coriander powder.
- **Curd / Yogurt -** Thick curd neutralizes the hotness of the spice powders.
- **Coconut Milk -** Coconut milk elevates the taste of the biryani.
- **Masala Paste -** A special masala paste is prepared using coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies and tomatoes.
- **Onions -** Onions are sliced thin, fried to crisp and added at the final stage.
- **Tomatoes & Herbs -** Tomatoes gives tanginess to the dish and are added with chopped mint leaves & coriander leaves for flavor while marinating.
- **Spices -** Cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf, cardamom are seasoned in ghee / oil.
## How to make Chicken Biryani Step by Step
1\.Soak basmati rice in water for at least 20 minutes, set aside. Grind the ingredients under 'to grind' with little water to a fine paste. Set aside. Clean chicken and rinse it thrice , add turmeric powder and set aside.

2\.Heat oil+ghee in a pressure cooker and add the items under 'to temper' then add ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute. Then add onion and saute till its golden brown. Then add tomato, saute till raw smell leaves.

3\.Then add coriander mint paste and saute for 2 minutes. Then add curd, chicken along with turmeric, red chili, coriander, garam masala powders and required salt.

4\.Saute till it forms a thick gravy and chicken changes color. Add 1 cup of water and pressure cook for 3 whistles. Once pressure releases, open and give a quick stir.

5\.Drain water from rice and add it to the gravy, stir once. Then add coconut milk.

6\.Pressure cook for 3 whistles(After first whistle simmer it). Once pressure releases fluff it with a fork carefully without breaking the rice. Serve hot with onion raita.

Thalicha and onion raita are the best combination for non veg biriyani.
## Expert Tips
- If you like the lemon flavor, squeeze lemon juice once the biryani is done.
- I usually use 1:1.5 cups for rice : water ratio so have given the measures accordingly. But you can use the measurement according to the variety of basmati rice you use.
- Measure water and coconut milk accordingly.
- This is less spicy so adjust spice level according to your taste.
