This is a dish that is served for celebrations, and it's one of my favorites. I saw chicken biryani and chakauni on a TV show, and got the urge to eat it for the first time in a while. I made it at home to celebrate the anniversary of the day I left India.Basmati rice is ideal, but if you are using regular white rice, make sure to cook it so it's firm since it will be steamed with the chicken in Step 16.When serving on a plate, combine the chicken sauce on the bottom of the pan with the rice evenly.This is even better when served with tomato onion raita or chukauni. For 3 adult sized servings. Recipe by Plabar

Vegetarian Biryani Rice ultrafoodie

Easier to make! It's also not so spicy considering I have to feed my little kids.I use the spices that I find around in the drawers. No mint leaves tho, not in season, and fresh coriander is hard to come by.

Was going through some old saved magazine recipe clippings, and ran across this one called American Biryani. Thought I would try it. It's pretty good. Can't wait to try it with sage and rosemary! It takes awhile but it's worth the time and effort. This recipe as is makes quite a bit, my dutch oven was about 2/3 full, I just don't recall if it is a 5 or 6 quart pot. I'm doing a half recipe next time. You shouldn't be limited to chicken, I see no reason why any meat would not work, but whatever meat you use, leave some fat on it, as the fat truly does add flavor.

I created my own recipie today ! Just to give it a try and it came super duper delicious !! 😃

This dish may take a little while, but the steamed rice comes out ethereal, fragranced with the whole spices. I used Shan brand biryani seasoning per the recommendation of my friend who grew up making this dish. Remember to remove the whole spices before eating. Serve with yogurt tossed with cucumbers, or if you can find it, fermented curried limes.
