Boneless Chicken Biryani

Boneless Chicken Biryani

This post is a part of Blogchatter Half Marathon..Biryani is a time-tested dish and the recipes have been guarded closely and passed on down the generations and always a pleasure to cook and this Boneless Chicken Biryani bursts with different flavours. Biryani is a one-pot meal made with, spices and herbs, chicken and long-grained aromatic basmati rice cooked over slow heat for the paramount taste. In ancient days, Biryani was cooked for hours on a wood or coal fire which are redundant now. The closest to both is the slow cooker and that’s how I cook my Biryani.

Boneless Chicken Biryani

Biryani always was a labour of love with grinding fresh spice and chopping onions, ginger garlic finely and the chicken was marinated in yoghurt and spices and then cooked with basmati rice. It was cooked on special occasions and warranted a celebration but now thanks to our whizzy blenders and rice cookers, cooking this artful recipe is a breeze.

Here is my favourite dish, a simple Boneless Chicken Biryani recipe, with perfect texture and flavours cooked in the slow rice cooker.

Recipe for Boneless Chicken Biryani

INGREDIENTS:

1/2kg chicken

1 tbsp ginger garlic paste

2 green chillies

1 onion sliced long

1/2 tbsp red chilli powder

1 small bunch of Mint, Coriander and 2 green chillies ground to a coarse paste

Few cloves

1 tomato chopped

2 green cardamoms

1 black cardamom

1/2 inch Cinnamon stick

2 Anise-flower

A few peppercorns

2 bay leaves

4 tbsps ghee or clarified butter

1 sprig Coriander leaves to garnish

2 cups Basmati rice soaked for 15 mins

METHOD

Firstly, heat the ghee in a pan, add the cardamoms, cloves, Cinnamon sticks, Anise-flower,  bay leaves.

After they exude a fragrance, add the ginger-garlic paste, sauté,.

Next, add the sliced onions and sauté until pink. Now, add the chicken and cook until slightly tender.

Do not overcook the chicken as it will cook with the rice and it may disintegrate if it is overcooked.

Subsequently, add the slit green chillies, diced tomato, salt, red chilli powder and the coriander-mint paste.

Now, saute and add the soaked basmati rice and enough water. Transfer to a rice cooker which is easier and better as it is slow cooking like dum. ( For newbie cooks..you can’t go wrong cooking in the rice cooker as it comes down to keep warm mode once the water dries up and you can keep on browsing Insta without worrying that it would burn)

Consequently, add a little less water as the rice was pre-soaked and in the Biryani every grain in the rice should be fluffy. Finally, when the rice is almost cooked, drizzle the ghee over the Biryani.

When you open the lid the aroma will waft through the house.

Lastly, garnish with coriander and serve piping hot with onion raita.

My writing was limited to school essays and projects for my kids and out of the blue, my writing career began with writing articles for the magazine section of a reputed national newspaper. I rediscovered my best subject at school and began writing with gusto. I had a weekend column in the newspaper which was well appreciated. I started off writing about Interiors and Gardens and later diverse topics like Fashion, trends, food and events in the city. Juggling my time between various jobs down the years and my writing, I have written content for fliers, brochures for colleges, speeches, social media content and also website content. I love writing and I am open to writing on a plethora of topics. My blog has some interesting insights into my life and travels but now it is mainly a food blog as I am growing organic vegetables and cooking my own produce is very therapeutic. Read my blogs to know me better. I write from my heart and what I write is what I feel... I feel a feel, A funny feel A funny feel, feel I! If you feel the feel I feel You'll feel the same as I!!

    I never use tomatoes when making Biryani, but I do use it in the chicken masala rice that I make. Should try this variant too.
