I invited one of my office colleagues (Victor) for the lunch recently, he liked the falvors and especially spices alot. He took some left over biryani home. The best part is Victor's dad liked biryani alot and now he asked me for the recipe. So i'm writing this post for him and to all the cooks looking for a easy recipe of "Chicken Biryani"
Note: Below recipe serves 2 people.
Ingredients:
1. Basmati Rice - 1 cup
2. Hyderabadi Biryani Masala - 1/2 tablespoon (You can buy this at Indian Groceries)
3. Chicken - 1 pound (cut into bite size cubes)
4. Oil - 1 tablespoon
5. Cloves - 2
6. Cinnamon stick - 1
7. Bay leaf - 1
8. Ginger and Garlic Paste - 1 tablespoon (You can buy this at Indian Groceries)
9. Garam Masala - 1/2 tablespoon (You can buy this at Indian Groceries)

11. Chilli powder - 1 tablespoon (You can buy this at Indian Groceris)
12. Salt - As per your taste
13. Water
14. Tomato - 1 medium size cut into small pieces
15. Saffron powder - 1 pinch mixed in 2 tablespoons of water.
Preparation:
Take a pot, add rice, 2 cups of water (for 1 cup of rice, add 2 cups of water), pinch of salt, Biryani masala and mix well and cook the rice. This is just the way you cook normal rice.
Take another pan, add oil and onions, fry the onions until they are golden brown, add cloves, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, ginger garlic paste, cinnamon stick, garam masala mix well and fry for 30 to 45 seconds. Now add tomato and fry for one more minute. Add chicken and mix it well with all the other ingredients in the pan, let it fry for 2 mins and then add 1/2 cup water, chilli powder and salt and let it cook until the chicken is tender and let it simmer for 10 minutes after the chicken is cooked.
Preheat the oven at 3500F. Take a baking pan, spread some rice on the pan, then some chicken and add some rice and so on..... add one layer of rice and one layer of chicken until you layer all the rice and chicken. Finally, pour the saffron mixed water on the rice as a garnish. Cover the pan with aluminium foil place it in the oven and let it sit in the oven for 15 minutes.
That's it.........yummy biryani is ready. Enjoy.
