Pressure Cooker Chicken Biryani Pressure Cooker Chicken Biryani
As weird as the name gets, the recipe gets much easier. #Biryani, being the name of one of most Scrumptious recipes in India, has got 17 different predominant flavors spread throughout the country. So I come up with a version which does not belong to any part of India, but helps you out with a great recipe in less effort.I bring you the Pressure Cooker Chicken Biryani. Don't worry we are in no way going to pressure cook the rice nor the chicken. It's just a replacement of the tedious "Dum" method where we replace it with pressure cooker, an easily available utensil in every house hold.It being an obvious fact that you cannot escape the effort of marination and brown onions while making a biryani, so expecting a recipe with less prep time is absolute disaster.Lets get down to the #favourite recipe without further ado.
