Instructions

Boil rice

1 Boil rice

  • Rinse the basmati rice.
  • Add the rice, a pinch of salt and the measured water to a pot with a lid and bring to a boil over a high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 min or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.
  • Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat and keep covered until step 5.
Prep

2 Prep

  • Meanwhile, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add the chicken to a large bowl with half of the yogurt (reserve the remaining half for serving), ginger garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric, chilli (spicy!) and paprika. Mix well and set aside.
  • Peel and finely chop the onion.
  • Roughly chop the tomatoes.
  • Finely chop the fresh coriander leaves.
  • Split the cardamom pods open with the back of a knife.
Tip! Sensitive to spice? Go easy on the chilli powder.
Fry

3 Fry

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium-high heat with the ghee.
  • Once hot, add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook for 5-6 min or until golden brown.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the bay leaves, cardamom pods, cumin seeds and coriander powder.
  • Fry for 1 min further.
Add chicken

4 Add chicken

  • Add the chicken and all the marinade, the tomatoes and 0.5 stock cube to the pan.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally or until the tomatoes have softened.
  • Once soft, add the tamarind paste and simmer for 1 min further.
Tip! Add a splash of water if the curry is too thick.
Layer biryani

5 Layer biryani

  • Spread half of the rice over the bottom of a serving dish.
  • Top with half of the chicken, followed by half of the chopped coriander.
  • Top with the remaining rice, chicken and coriander.
Tip! Layering the biryani ensures an even mix of masalas. Strapped for time? Skip this step. Serve the plain rice and top with the chicken, sauce, coriander and crispy onion.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Gently mix the biryani until the rice is evenly coated.
  • Serve the Chicken Biryani with a dollop of the remaining yogurt and a sprinkling of crispy onions.
