By 2 in the noon...the biriyani was ready ..so it ideally took 120 minutes from scratch....he he...really from scratch say getting the chicken from butcher's :)
Here goes my mom's recipe for this mouth watering stuff ........
Ingredients :
JeeraSambha Rice - 1/2 kg (2 cups) Chicken - 500 gms Ginger garlic paste - 4 tsps Mint - 1 bunch Coriander leaves - 1/2 bunch Green chillies - 5 Chilli Powder - 2 tsps Garam Masala Powder -1 tsps Coconut Milk - 1 cup Onion - 2 large ones Tomato - 2 medium sized
Method :
a) Wash chicken and marinate in curd and a tspn of chilli powder.
b) Make course paste of onion.Grind the tomato and get rich puree.
c) Make a course paste of coriander,mint and green chillies together. This leaves us with three different pastes from step (b) and (c).
d) Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add cloves,cinnamon, bay leaf and cardamom. Allow them to split.
e) Once done, add the onion paste and saute till it turns golden brown and till the raw smell is all off.
f) Add the ginger garlic paste,followed by the green paste and saute them well.
g) This will be followed by tomato puree,chilli powder and garam masala. Saute all the contents, till the mixture disgorges the oil out.
h) Add the marinated chicken to this paste and mix the ingredients well. Add requisite salt and pressure cook the stuff till a single whistle is thrown.
g) Now, remove the lid,add the soaked rice to the mixture and add 2 cups of water.
h) Let the rice cook without the lid for another 5 minutes,now that the rice is half cooked, add the coconut milk and stir well. Pressure cook for 8 to 10 minutes in low flame.
There you go...the yummy biriyani....it really did touch my G-spot as the taste was well maintained and was neither very spicy nor bland. Taste buds well satiated....
