RECIPE:
Marinate
the chicken and keep it for at least one hour. For Mutton Biryani, overnight marination is advisable for better
results.
In
a suitable vessel, fry the sliced onions to golden brown in ghee. Add the
crushed garlic, ginger, and green chilies and cook for 4 minutes. Add the
tomatoes and cook till tomatoes become soft. Adjust salt.
Cook
the marinated chicken in the masala for ten minutes.
Grind
the coconut paste ingredients to a fine paste. Add this paste to the chicken
masala and cook till the chicken is tender and the gravy has become thick.
Soak
rice for half an hour. Wash well and strain.
Heat
the ghee and add the spices. Saute for 2 minutes and add the strained rice. Add
hot water, salt, and lemon juice when the rice begins to crackle. Cook the rice
till the water is thoroughly dried. Spread the rice on a tray.
In
a small kadai, fry the cashew and raisins in ghee till the cashew becomes
golden brown. Please remove them and keep them aside. Fry the sliced onion in
the remaining ghee to a golden brown.
In
a suitable vessel, apply ghee to the bottom and sides of the vessel. Spread
half of the chicken masala evenly and cover it with half the cooked rice.
Repeat the same layering with the rice layer on the top. Cover the vessel with
a wet cloth and place a heavy lid. Place this vessel on a pre-heated tava and
cook on a low flame for 30 minutes.
Garnish
the Biryani with fried onions, nuts, and raisins.
