Cooking Steps
Preparation
Step 1 :
Add chicken to a bowl. Use large pieces of chicken.
Step 2 :
Note: I marinate the chicken for 2 hours, the more time you marinate it, the better.
Add dalchini, elaichi, cloves, bay leaf, elaichi powder, yoghurt, red chillies, mace powder, ginger-garlic paste, salt, Kewra water and rose water. Mix them well and leave for marination.
Step 3 :
Wash the rice until it runs clear. Soak it for 30 to 40 minutes. Take a pan and add oil and Shahi jeera. You can add cloves and cardamom. Add soaked rice and bring to a boil until it's 90% cooked.
Step 4 :
Take a pan and add ghee. Once it is hot, add onions, lavang, cinamon, bay leaf and fry until the onions are completely fried and the spices let out an aroma.
Step 5 :
Add the marinated chicken to the pan with coriander leaves and mint. Cook until the gravy leaves the ghee. It will take time approximately of 20 minutes to cook.
Step 6 :
This is the crucial step as if you will cook more, your chicken will become mushy. When the chicken is perfectly cooked, add the boiled riced in form of a layer.
Step 7 :
Take a small bowl add saffron with hot water (to release its colour).
Step 8 :
Add the saffron to the rice. Now add green coriander leaves and mint leaves, adding with rose water and kevra water.
Step 9 :
Close the lid of the pan and give it a dum of 15 minutes so that steam do not release.
Step 10 :
Open the lid. Serve and enjoy the quality taste of Lucknowi Chicken Biryani.
