Recipe of the Day: Chicken Biryani

[AngelsWin.com]

Biryani is a beautiful, simple South Asian rice pilaf that’s easy to make at home. It’s typically served at celebrations in India, and my Indian friends here in the United States talk about this dish with such nostalgia.

You can make it with all kinds of meats (like goat or seafood!) or just vegetables. The rice is often golden with turmeric and studded with raisins and nuts.

Biryani can also be a fantastic weeknight meal since it’s made all in one pot and is ready in under an hour. Today, I’m sharing my version of biryani with chicken.

Made this tonight for dinner. Added garlic and chili flakes and I did coat the chicken beforehand with turmeric and corriander so the spices were in the chicken not just around it. Came out pretty good.

This was, in no way, Taco Bell.

I've now made this four times and doubled the tumeric, cardamon and bay leaf. It is far better with fresh ginger than powdered, don't cheat this one ingredient. Also rinse the rice as suggested in the recipe, it cleans the dust off and helps it absorb more fluids when cooked.

Added blanched baby carrots (4 minutes in microwave bowl with water), it worked well. Tried zucchini before but it gets mushy. Love mushrooms but no one else in the house does. 

@Tank you could try fried tofu or eggplant with a tumeric and curry mix to substitute for chicken but I wouldn't incorporate it until it's time to serve otherwise all the broth will make it gelatinous. Vegetable broth instead of chicken and you're set. Warning, if you follow the directions you will have four meals for two. I'd cut it in half so you have a lunch or two from the leftovers, it reheats well.

I've made this as well and agree on the ginger factor, though we use that quite a bit in our dishes.

Hi,

 

I love this article, I think it's great content!

 

It actually correlates with what we do over here at Sukhis.com, so we were thinking it might benefit us both to link to each other’s articles. 

You can see our similar article here: https://sukhis.com/biryani-a-complete-guide-and-recipe/

A lot of time and care went into creating this article. Would you think about adding a link to our site? We would love to do the same with yours. 

 

All the best!

He would be missing out on all that crossover web traffic.

It's great because it's generic and totally clean, but allows the mind the wander... How could you not click?

quite possibly the least indian dish i've ever seen posted as indian cuisine, lol. 

only thing it was missing is "curry powder"

[Blarg]

You are right, when cooked it doesn't smell like a dirty armpit like most Indian food.

[cez]

not sure the need to be a c*nt regarding my comment since you said yourself that you greatly increased the spice content.

the spices you added made it a lot more authentic, which means it smells like dirty armpit?  fucking idiot, lol.
