    Maunika, You don't know how thankful I am for this upload. My mom isn't around to make biriyani and I really really miss it, and I feel I can't cook it, after watching this great and simple recipe, I will finally attempt to make biriyani. Thank you so much!!!

    Yogurt 3 tbsp
    fried onion 3 tbsp (can fry your own or get a pack)
    chopped tomatoes 1 (or 2 tbsp of tomato puree or even cheap pasta sauce)
    green chilli 1 would do
    rice one serving (160gm)
    Ginger garlic paste 1 tbsp (if you can afford some)
    water 250 ml
    Mix masala in the yogurt and just drop everything into a rice cooker and mix well. Cook until done and thank me later.

      one tip for cooking the rice that she missed. Take basmati rice and shock it for 30-40 min before cooking & then cook the rice in water seasoned with salt and oil (make sure the water is salty must taste like sea water), what it does is give u nice fluffy rice that don't stick together also makes you rice nicely seasoned. Then cook the rice until its 90% done. after that follow the recipe Enjoy your cooking :)

      I've lived there for 3 months and I can't agree with you. Very "aggressive" spices become very easy repetitive. Even now when I cook at home my native food when I get a slight scent on something that resembles Indian food it simply does not work on me. We have also a very limited amount of spices and ingredients that are going in food, however, Indians do not know how chicken tastes as it is always dipped well into spices. The same spices are used on fish. If you smell curry or this biryani, 90% (if not more) spices are the same. Just gets into your nose and it does not work equally. Biryani (with mutton) was excellent and my most enjoyable food in those 3 months.

I also cooked the rice in homemade chicken stock both times. One mug of rice to one mug of boiling stock and one mug of boiling water then simmer on low with lid on for 15 minutes I used Tilda basmati. Absolutely gorgeous

      lots to see pretty much everywhere, weather is kinda unpredictable, it gets really cold in the winter and really hot in the summer and in between theres lots of rain... people may seem a little reserved to outsiders, especially older people but that comes from the attitude of getting to know people a little rather than just having small talk. We have great food especially in bavaria and of course great beers too. And we like to drink a lot here.

    @sushanalone 7 років тому +1

    Never heard of tomatoes in Biryani, but then i always make Raw/'Kacchi' Biryani and not the 'Pakki' . Also the yogurt adds enough tang to the dish, adding tomatoes will add more sourness and unwanted sweetness and moisture overwhelming other gentle flavours and even cause rice to get soggy due to more moisture than required.
    You missed out on Ghee/clarified butter on the rice, adds that authentic flavour, for non-Indians, a couple of tablespoons of butter will also do, they will give the smoothness to rice (like olive oil gives to pasta after draining the water) and it is easy to swallow and does not form those painful lumps in your throat that can happen with certain rice centric dishes.

    Hi, the Biryani recipe is quite simple and easy to make. I would suggest you should have a thick layer of rice at the bottom first and then add the chicken mix on top of it. This would help the flavours of the chicken to mix with the rice in the bottom. You can have the plain rice as a top layer which is glazed with saffron milk.

    I just wish there was cinnamon, cloves, star anise, nutmeg, mace and whole peppercorns in it too... In fact... if you have any of these lying around chuck them in the oil with the cardamom and cumin... Agreed... nice recipe to begin with. How I wish this recipe was there when I was in university missing my dad's biryani.

    I think the ginger and garlic paste should be added before adding tomatoes. When the onions are frying there is quite a bit of oil and ginger garlic release their raw flavours best in oil

  • @ElizaDolittle

    Biryani is my absolute favorite rice dish. I too use boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into chunks, but when I cook the thighs they release so much of their own water that the thick sauce turns into a soup! I end up removing all that spiced up liquid but in order not to throw all that flavorful goodness away, I mix that to the water I use to cook the rice. The end result is still delicious but I want to know why it never seems to happen to anyone else - I've watched DOZENS of chicken biryani videos!

    Maunika- your recipes are divine! big fan. I had a question though- when adding garam masala "raw" over the rice- won't the taste be over powering? because technically you aren't cooking out the spice. right? or am I making no sense at all

    • @nandinihegde8729
      @nandinihegde8729 8 років тому +4

      Garam Masala powder is a mix of roasted dry spices. It doesn't need to be cooked. Also, usually it's added towards the end to retain its aroma. :)

    italians are very proud of their authentic recipes. if you tell an italian to make modifications in his recipe he will get very offended. for example, a simple margarita pizza. the real margarita pizza is simple and authentic and the keep the recipe of it real. the same way, the recipe of biryani we should not disturb. keep it simple and keep it authentic and real! there is no shortcut to a fine biryani.

    Tomatoes in a Biriyani? that's a first I've seen. Generally yogurt forms a good base to hold together the spices. You do not need tomatoes. The need for tomatoes in any Indian dish is to a) Give tanginess b) Hold together different flavors. Yogurt does both of them well. So tomatoes are not needed.

    As easy as this was and it is easy you left out one very important ingredient..Biryani is a dish of indulgence and sticky bits..This would have been so easy just to do..desi ghee..Why oh why did you leave this out..drizzled with ghee from top to bottom would make this a lot better and then people who have not tasted this dish properly would have at least some idea what this is all about
