Ingredients:
2 tbs Garam Masala
2 tbs Corainder powder
2 tbs Cumin powder
1 tbs Chili powder
1 tbs Tumeric powder
2 tbs Meat Curry powder
(Mixed all the above spices together)
2 large onion
4 garlic
2 inch of ginger
(Blend together in a mixer)
10 tbs Plain yogurt
2 tbs butter
2tbs oil
1 lemon grass. (crushed)
For Sprinkle.
handful of mint leave
3 tbs Raisin
10 Almond nuts
1.5 kg Chicken, cut them into small pieces
For Rice
Pandan Leave
3 Star Anise
1 Cinnamon Stick
3 Cardamon pot
1 tbs Turmeric powder
Preparing of rice.
Heat 1 tbs spoon butter an 1 tbs oil in a pot.
Once butter is melted, add in the star anise, cinnamon stick and cardamon pot. Stir for few second and add in the turmeric powder.
Stir around and add in 5 glass of water together with the pandan leave.
Wash and drained 2 cups of Basmati rice.
Once the water started boiling, pour in the rice.
At this stage, I estimated the cook time of the rice to not be fully cooked. The rice has to be cook halfway through. Scoop to see if the rice is half cooked,, use a strainer and throw away the access water. Set aside.
Preparing of Briyani Chicken
Heat a table spoon of butter and oil in a pan.
Add Lemon Grass.
Stir in the blended ingredients for few mins.
Now you can pour in all the mixed spices and keep stirring for few minutes so it will not be burn and stick on the pan.
Add in the chicken, stir and mixed well, then followed by plain yogurt.
Salt to taste.
Cook the chicken till it is done.
Heat oven to 200 deg
Preparing for Sprinkle
Heat a tbs of oil and stir fried the almond nuts for few mins. (set aside)
Next stir fried the raisin for few second( set aside)
Wash clean the mint leaves (set aside)
Preparing to layer the Chicken and rice
Once the chicken is cooked, lay them on the bottom of a rectangle glass cook pan. (do not pour in all the gravy, safe half of the sauce aside)
Add in cooked rice on top of the chicken. (I did only one layer but of course if you cooking for more portions of people, you can have it many layers)
Sprinkle the mint leave, raisins and almond.
Once all is done, I cover them with aluminium folio and put it in the oven for 30 mins.
Chicken Briyani are ready to be serves with the balance gravy.
