Cooking Biryani at Home? This Stay-At-Home Parent Reveals the Secret to Perfect Chicken & Rice Every Time!
Creating the Perfect Biryani with Chicken and Rice
For those of us who are stay at home parents, having an engaging and creative cooking blog is a great way to stay busy and productive. One of my favorite dishes to make and write about is biryani with chicken and rice. This classic dish from the Middle East has been revitalized by home cooks around the world, and I’m here to share my own version of this delicious dish.
Biryani is a complex dish, but it doesn’t have to be intimidating. The key is to use quality ingredients that are fresh and flavorful. For my biryani with chicken and rice, I like to use boneless skinless chicken thighs, basmati rice, onion, garlic, ginger, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, turmeric powder, chili powder, garam masala powder, chopped cilantro leaves, chopped mint leaves, Greek yogurt, ghee or butter, bay leaves and a lemon.
Now that we have our ingredients ready to go, let’s get started! Begin by marinating the chicken thighs in Greek yogurt mixed with chili powder and garam masala powder for about an hour. This will help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
Next up is the rice. I like to use basmati rice for this dish because it cooks up fluffy and has such an amazing aroma. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the soaked basmati rice along with a few cardamom pods and cinnamon sticks. Cook until the rice is just al dente—about 10-12 minutes—and drain well.
After that it’s time to make our spice blend! Heat a pan over medium heat and add in some ghee or butter. When it starts to sizzle add in the cumin seeds, coriander seeds and cloves. Toast these spices for about 2 minutes until fragrant then add them to a spice grinder or mortar & pestle along with turmeric powder and freshly ground black pepper. Grind everything together until you get a nice fine powder then set aside.
Now it’s time to assemble the biryani! Heat some ghee or butter in a large pan over medium heat then add in the onions and sauté until golden brown. Add in garlic and ginger paste along with bay leaves then sauté for another minute before stirring in the marinated chicken thighs. Cook until the chicken is almost cooked through then add in the freshly ground spice blend along with chopped cilantro leaves and mint leaves. Give everything a good stir then add in the cooked basmati rice along with some salt to taste. Stir everything together then cover with a lid and let simmer on low heat for 10 minutes or until the flavors have melded together nicely.
To finish off our biryani with chicken and rice squeeze some fresh lemon juice over top before serving alongside your favorite chutney or raita (yogurt sauce). The flavor combination of spices combined with juicy chicken thighs and fluffy basmati rice makes this dish truly irresistible! I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post about biryani today; let me know if you try making it at home!
