Ingredients

  • 2 cups basmati rice

  • 500 grams of chicken, cut into pieces

  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced

  • 2 tomatoes, chopped

  • 1/2 cup yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste

  • 1/4 cup cooking oil

  • 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)

  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

  • 4-5 green cardamom pods

  • 4-5 cloves

  • 2-inch cinnamon stick

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

  • 1 teaspoon biryani masala

  • Salt to taste

  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

  • Fried onions for garnish

Directions

  • Marinate the Chicken
  • In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces, yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, biryani masala, and salt.
  • Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. This will ensure that the flavours penetrate the meat.
  • Soak the Rice
  • Wash the basmati rice completely and absorb it water for 30 minutes. This will help the rice cook equitably and keep it from breaking during the cooking system.
  • Prepare the Biryani Pot
  • In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the cooking oil and ghee.
  • Add the cumin seeds, green cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and bay leaf. Sauté for a minute until they release their aroma.
  • Cook the Chicken
  • Place the marinated chicken into the pot and cook it until it changes colour to a pale white and exhibits a light browning.
  • Incorporate the chopped tomatoes into the mixture, and continue cooking until they soften, and you observe the oil beginning to separate.
  • Layer the Biryani
  • Once you’ve drained the soaked rice, add it to the pot where the chicken is cooking.
  • Gently stir the rice and chicken together, then add precisely 4 cups of water to the pot.
  • Cover the pot and allow the biryani to cook over low heat until the rice reaches tenderness and the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Garnish and Dum Cook
  • When the biryani is cooked, embellish it with new coriander leaves and seared onions.
  • Close the cover of the pot and let it dum cook for 15 minutes on exceptionally low intensity. This will permit the flavours to merge together.
  • Serve and Enjoy
  • Your delicious Sindhi Chicken Biryani is ready to be served! Scoop out generous portions, making sure to get both chicken and rice in each serving.

  • Conclusion: That’s it, the ideal Sindhi Chicken Biryani recipe that will ship your taste buds directly to Pakistan.
