Cooking Steps
Preparation
Step 1 : Chicken preparation (Use pressure cooker):
Fry the spices (1-5 listed in the ingredients) in ghee.
Step 2 :
Add the onions and fry until translucent. Add the ginger-garlic paste and fry until the raw smell goes away.
Step 3 :
Add kasuri methi and tomatoes and fry until the tomatoes are tender.
Step 4 :
Add curd, pudina and coriander leaves along with all the spices (15-19 listed in the ingredients) and give it a good stir.
Step 5 :
Next, add the chicken. Give it a good mix so that the masala coats the chicken completely. Add the desired amount of salt and cook for about 10-15 minutes on low flame or until the chicken is tender and has started releasing water.
Step 6 :
Give another good stir and pressure cook for 3-4 whistles. Wait until the cooker has cooled off completely before opening the cooker.
Step 7 : Rice preparation:
Soak the uncooked basmati rice in water for about 15 minutes before cooking.
Step 8 :
Boil water with a few drops of ghee and a few pods of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, Marathi moggu and a bay leaf, along with some fresh coriander leaves, ½ tsp of garam masala and a ½ tsp of salt.
Step 9 :
Once the water starts boiling, add the basmati rice and cook on low flame for about 5-7 minutes of medium flame till the rice is half cooked. The rice should not be cooked completely.
Step 10 :
Strain the rice and keep it aside.
Step 11 : Biryani preparation:
Transfer the cooked chicken (there will be some amount of gravy with the chicken) into a broad base handi if you wish, else let the chicken remain in the cooker.
Step 12 :
Heat a thick base tawa on high flame and the place the cooker/handi with the chicken.
Step 13 :
Add the cooked rice and place the boiled eggs over the chicken and sprinkle some coriander leaves along with ½ tsp of ghee over the rice.
Step 14 :
Cover the handi/cooker and cook on high flame for 7-10 minutes, and then on low flame for another 12-15 minutes.
Step 15 : How to serve:
Either mix the rice and chicken together in the handi/cooker to get a uniformly coloured biryani, or, serve as a layered dum biryani by not mixing the rice and chicken together. Optionally, some food colour can be mixed with a tsp of milk and sprinkled over the cooked rice to get more colours. Finally, serve with raita.
