Quick Chicken Biryani Recipe
Equipment
- Two bottom vessels for rice and masala
- Thick Iron Tawa
- Big Strainer
Ingredients
- 350 grams Basmati Rice Soaked for half an hour and drained
- 350 grams Chicken
- 4 nos Onions fried crisoy
- 3 nos tomatoes sliced
- 1/2 cup Mint Leaves chopped
- 1/2 cup Coriander Leaves Chipped
- Oil for Cooking
- 1 nos Lemon Juice
- 1 tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste
- 1/2 cup Ghee
- 2 nos Green Chillies chopped
- Salt as per taste
- 3 nos Bay Leaves
- 7 nos Black Pepper
- 2-3 nos Cloves
- 1 no Star Anise
- 1/4 tbsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tbsp Red Chilly Powder
- 1/2 tbsp Garam Masala Powder
Instructions
- Take a Bottom vessel where we will make the Biryani and marinate the Chicken in the same vessel.
- For Marination, add ¾ portion of fried onions, tomatoes, Chopped coriander, Chopped mint leaves, Chopped green chillies, Turmeric, Red chilly powder, Garam Masala powder, Ginger Garlic paste, 4 tbsp Curd, then add Salt as per taste and finally, Oil about 4-5 tbsp.
- Now mix all the ingredients nicely in the Chicken, ensuring the Chicken is coated well with the masala.
- Meanwhile, the Chicken is resting after margination; we will cook the Rice – this is a crucial step to ensure the Rice is not sticky and overcooked.First, ensure we take enough water to cook the Rice; I have taken 350 grams of Basmati rice, and I will take about 1.5 litres of water.Heat the water on a high flame to reach the boiling point; while the water is getting heated, add 3-4 tbsp of ghee and some whole spices.
- After some time, the water starts boiling.
- When the water is boiling, add Lemon Juice and Salt to taste.
- After adding Lemon Juice and Salt, Add the soaked basmati rice to the boiling water; let it boil on a high flame.
- After adding Rice, do not stir frequently to avoid breaking the Rice,; keep on a high flame until it boils.
- Once it starts boiling, keep aside a half glass of boiling water; we need this while preparing for Dum.
- Soon, the Rice will start boiling; let it simmer on a high flame for 5-6 mins. We need to cook the Rice only about 50% partially, and the rest will be cooked while the Biryani is kept on Dum for 45 mins.
- After cooking on a high flame for 4-5 mins, Turn off the love and drain the Rice on a strainer.
- Now pour in the hot water we kept aside over the marinated Chicken, around ¼ cup only.
- Now immediately add the hot Rice over the marinated Chicken; please ensure you take a bottom vessel as we need to add Rice over the Chicken, so that it would require a big vessel.
- Garnish it with 2-3 spoons of ghee, Fried Onions, and Mint leaves.
- Close it with a lid; keep a thick tawa below the vessel and keep it on a high flame – Please ensure the lid is tight; first, keep the flame on a high flame for 5 mins and then keep it on a low flame for 45 mins – DO NOT OPEN THE LID FOR 45 mins.
- After 45 minutes, turn off the flame and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Open the lid and check the Biryani.
- Serve it hot with mix veg raita and pappads

Notes
- Use a Bottom vessel – Big enough to accommodate Chicken and Rice together.
- Use good quality rice – Old basmati rice is preferred – Soak it in water for half an hour and drain it before cooking.
- Refrain from stirring continuously while cooking the rice; It might break the rice and spoil its quality.
- While keeping on Dum, ensure the lid is tight and do not open the cover before 45 minutes, and the flame should be very low.
- Try to use a thick Iron Tawa to Dum the biryani.
