Chicken Biryani 2.0 5 months ago

Gave chicken biryani a second shot. This time I made it from scratch. I kind of combined these two recipes :

The dish turned out super freaking awesome :) I could eat it all weak, but finished it in two days.

Key to a good chicken biryani is slow cooking. Slow cook the rice and slow cook the chicken – first individually and then together. If you have a wrought iron pot, that is perfect. If not use a girdle underneath the cooking vessel to control the heat.
