Chicken Dum Biryani
No time to present as usual , but managed to click a few pics for reference ,Trust me this is the bestttt biryani everrr.
Grind together a generous handful of coriander leaves , a handful of mint leaves and 6-8 green chillies and make a paste . Apply this paste on 1kg of chicken , along with 1.5 tbsp ginger paste , 2 tbsp garlic paste , 3 tbsp shaan Bombay biryani masala or any biryani masala, 3 tbsp tandoori masala , barista of 4 onions made to paste , 2 tsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp garam masala powder , 3 big tomatoes made to paste , 1 cup dahi , half cup cream or malai , juice of 1 lime, a pinch of saffron , some whole garam masala and salt . Marinate the chicken for 2 hours or preferably overnight.
Boil 2.5 cups of rice ( preferably basmati) with some whole garam masala , and strain .
In a big wessel ( dont switch on heat) put oil, and the marinated chicken along with all the masala , then sprinkle some onion barista, chopped coriander and mint and layer all the boiled rice on top. Drizzle yellow or orange food colour mixed in a little water and drizzle 4-5 tbsp of ghee . Sprinkle some chopped coriander and barista and put in a lid that fits perfectly on ur vessel. Seal the edges with dough ( this is optional u can even simply just put some weight on top of the lid so the steam does not come out thru the sides ) then put the vessel on a tava and keep on high heat for 10 mins and low heat for 45 mins . Switch of heat and let the biryani rest for 15-20 mins . Then open the lid and serve hot along with some dahi kachumber.
