Ingredients:

Basmathi Rice - 2 1/2 cups
chicken - 1 1/2 lb
Ginger Garlic paste -75 gms (for best results use homemade ginger garlic paste)
Mint - 1 bunch
Cilantro -1/2 bunch
Tomato (canned) - 150gms
Green Chillies - 6
Onions - 400 gms
Lime - 1 tbsp
Yogurt - 2tbsp
Whole garam masala
Chili powder - 2 tsp
coriander powder -1 tsp
Salt as per taste
pressure cooker - 5 Lr

For the Masala:
Onion -1 small
Tomato - 1tbsp
Green chillies - 2
Cumin seeds - tbsp
Grind the masala into a fine paste
Method:
  • Wash the chicken and marinate with curd, 1tsp chili powder and salt for 1 hour.
  • Soak the rice in water for 5 min, and stain the rice by leaving it in the strainer for 20 min
  • Heat the pressure cooker add oil, when the oil is hot add the whole garam masala
  • Add the onions and slitted green chillies and saute it till the onion is cooked well then add the ground masala.
  • Add tomatoes and cook for 5 min, then add ginger garlic paste can saute for 2 min.
  • Add chopped mint and cilantro leaves, add the marinated lamb, salt
  • Pour 1 cup of water and cook in the cooker for 5 min in medium to low flame
  • Open the pressure cooker when the pressure is released
Tip: The ratio of rice to water is 1:2, I have used 21/2 cups of rice so I need 5 cups of water. I have already added 1 cup of water to cook the chicken and the chicken gives out broth from the bones so there will be more than 1 cup of broth. Drain all the broth in a separate bowl and measure the broth Eg: if there is 2 cups of broth add 3 cups of water to make total of 5 cups
  • Pour the 5 cups of (water and broth) in the pressure cooker and wait till its boiled well
  • Add the rice to the boiling broth, lower the flame
  • Add lime, chili powder, coriander powder
  • salt as per your taste
  • close the cooker add the weight when the steam comes, and cook for 5 min or wait for 2 whistles and switch of the flame
  • leave the Briyani in the cooker for 10 min, till all the steam is released
  • pour the Briyani in a large container add 1 teaspoon of ghee and mix well and its good to go
