My mother in law cooks very tasty Briyani. I learnt this recipe from her and gave minor changes to that.
Ingredients
Chicken - 1 Kg
Basmathi rice-1 Kg
Medium size onion- 6
Medium size tomato- 5
Ginger garlic paste - 3 table spoon
Green chillies - 7 to 8
Mint leaves- one hand ful
Coriander leaves- one and a half handful
Turmeric powder- 1 tsp
Red Chilli powder- 2 tsp
Lemon-1
Ghee - 1 tbs
Cooking oil- 2 test
Spices
Clove-3 to 4
Cardamom- 3 to 4
Saunf- 1 tsp
Aniseeds- 3 to 4
Bay leaf- 2
Cinnamon- 2 small pieces
Procedure
Chop onion into long slender pieces, chop the tomatoes into medium sized cubes, wash the mint and Coriander leaves and chop them. Measure the rice using a glass or cup in your house and note the measurement. This is very important.
Wash the rice taking care not to break it and soak it water when you start preparing the masala ( the next step). Heat the oil and Ghee in a pan, add the spices , let it splutter, then add the onions, cook till golden brown, add the ginger garlic paste, stir frequently till raw smell goes, then add the tomatoes and chilli , cook till it becomes soft, add the Coriander and mint leaves and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken, turmeric and chilli powder , saute it and cook it for 5 minutes adding a cover to the vessel. Mean while strain the water from rice and keep it aside.
Measurement of water for making Briyani is for every measure/cup of rice, we need to use one and a half measure / cup of water. For example if we are using 6 glasses of rice, then the water used should be 9 glasses.
Add the water in the cooker, add the masala with chicken and let it boil, once the water starts boiling add the rice, lemon juice and cover it. Check the salt and add if needed at this stage. You cannot add later as it won't blend nicely.
If we are using the pressure cooker, put the lid and wait till pressure escapes. Put the whistle cook till 3 whistle comes and switch of the stove.
If you are cooking in rice cooker, please mix two times in between so that it gets cooked equally in all sides. Allow it to be in the warm mode for some time, so that it gets cooked uniformly. I find cooking Briyani in rice cooker very easy .
Briyani is ready ..
