It's one of my all-time favourite dish I can have this anytime, and I always like homemade biryani more than the restaurant ones.
In chicken biryani there are always four steps, first, marinate the chicken then prepare the rice then cooked chicken and then layer the rice and meat together.
It also includes many types of spices and ingredients. Saturday the chicken biryani I'm gonna share doesn't too many steps really very easy to make.
It doesn't require marination, and I have used fewer ingredients to keep it simple and delicious.
Exact time to prepare quick chicken biriyani:-
Preparation :- 5 minutes
Cook :- 35-40 minutes
Total :- 50 minutes
Serve:- 4-5 person
Ingredients:-
For the chicken-
1. Chicken big pieces 1 kg
2. Thinly sliced onions 2-3
3. Chopped tomatoes 2
4. Oil 6 teaspoon
5. Beaten yoghurt 1 cup
6. Biriyani masala 2 teaspoon
7. Ginger garlic paste 2 teaspoon
8. Salt to taste
9. Turmeric powder 1 teaspoon
10. Kashmiri chilli powder 2 teaspoon
For the rice:-
1. Basmati rice/Any long grain rice 600 gm2. Oil 2 tsp
3. Whole garam masalas ( 2 bay leaves, 3-4 cloves, 3-4 cardamom, 1 cinnamon stick )
4. Salt to taste
Some tips:-
2. You can add chilli powder according to you, it depends on how much spicy you want your chicken biriyani. I personally light to use Kashmiri red chilli powder it gives a nice red colour with some spiciness. You can add normal red chilli powder also.
3. The biriyani masala can be made at home, but as it's a quick and easy recipe that's why I like to use ready-made biriyani masala. It's easily available in markets.
4. You can add some hard-boiled eggs also in the biriyani. You just need to boil the eggs and then add into the rice when layering.
5. Ghee adds a distinct smell in every dish, if you add some ghee when layering the biriyani it will increase the flavours of it. You can use some yellow food colouring into the rice at the time of layering but I do not like to use artificial colours. Some people like to use saffron with some milk for additional colour, but as I wanted to keep the recipe simple I didn't use it. But if you want you can add it.
6. When layering the biriyani never press the rice on top of the chicken, always spread it gently using a spoon.
7. One of the most important thing to give dum to a biriyani or steaming it, you can to cover the pan with an airtight lid or if you don't have that after covering place some heavyweight utensils on it. So that it can be steamed properly.
Preparation:-
Preparing the rice-
• Take a pan to add 2 tsp of oil in it when the oil heats up add the whole garam masalas into it, give it a stir and then add 4 cups of water. Leave it on a high flame and when the water starts boiling add the long grain rice into it. Then cover the pan and allow it to cook for 5-6 minutes on a medium-low flame.
• After 5 minutes check the rice, it needs to be 70% done, then turn off the flame and strain the water from the rice. Then leave it and let it cool down for some time.
Preparation of the chicken:-
• Add 5-6 tsp oil into a pan, once the oil heats up add thinly sliced onions and stir until it gets nice and brown, then add the chicken pieces into it. Then cover the pan and let it cook for 5-6 minutes on a medium-low flame.

Then Stir for 2 min add and 1 cup of beaten yoghurt and 2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder. Mix well and again cover the pan for 10 minutes. Leave it On a medium-low flame.
• After 10 minutes Check if the chicken is properly cooked or not if you think it isn't cooked then again, cover the pan and cook for another 4-5 minutes, and if the gravy starts releasing oil then the chicken is ready.
Layering:-
• When the chicken is done remove the chicken pieces from the pan and leave some gravy into it then, at the bottom add half of the rice you cooked then add all the chicken gravy on top of it, and then add the remaining rice on top. After you've done the layering you can sprinkle some biriyani masala and spread some ghee.
• Cover the pan properly and place it on a medium-low flame for 8 minutes and then turn off the flame and leave it for 2 minutes. After 10 minutes open the pan and mix everything well. And your very easy and quick chicken biryani is ready.

Some tips:-
1. You can use eggs without potatoes also, in this dish, and here also you can add an additional colour like food colouring or saffron strands with milk. But the masalas and Kashmiri chilli powder also give it a nice orange colour.2. We always need to cook the rice 65-70% cause we again cook it after layering, it's important to prevent the rice from overcooking. And it's also very important When layering the biriyani never press the rice on top of the chicken, always spread it gently using a spoon.
3. I have used the water strained from the rice, into the gravy, cause it prevents the rice to stick at the bottom of the pan after layering.
4. As no meat is used here in this recipe, fried onions give it a nice smell and taste also, which gives the biriyani a delicious aroma.
5. In the gravy I have used the yoghurt mixture, it saves time, otherwise, you need to add everything into the pan and then need to mix. Mixing before use saves time and efforts. And also helps to mix well.
