Hi! This is Smita Deo and welcome to Get Curried.
Today, let's see how to make a quick easy Biryani
which has a strong flavour of Green Chillies
and it got its name from the city it was originated in
Moradabad!
So, let's see how to make the Muradabadi Biryani.
Here, I have a kilo of Chicken which I'm going to marinate with
green chillies that I have crushed, these are about 10 Green Chillies.
I'm going to add another 7-8 Slit Green Chillies.
3 Bay Leaves.
3 inches of Cinnamon Stick.
2 Star Anise.
1 Mace.
2 Black Cardamoms.
5 Green Cardamoms.
8 Cloves
and about 10 Peppercorns.
Let's add a heaped tbsp. of Ginger Paste.
A heaped tbsp. of Garlic Paste.
A tsp. of Cumin Seeds.
A tsp. of Coriander Powder.
A tsp. of Fennel Seed Powder.
A tbsp. of Garam Masala Powder.
A cup of Yogurt.
And 2 tomatoes that I have roughly chopped here.
And some salt to taste.
Let's mix this well.
Let's keep this aside for at least half an hour while we fry our onions.
Let's heat quarter cup of Oil.
The oil is hot.
Let's add 5 Onions - sliced
and fry them till they are nice golden-brown.
As you can see the Onions have caramelized beautifully
and they've got a beautiful golden colour as well.
I'm going to add the marinated chicken, now.
And I'm going to sear the meat for 5 minutes on a high flame.
It is smelling absolutely divine and it is looking so colourful.
You can see the colour of the meat has changed.
Let's reduce the flame to a medium.
And now, cover this and cook for at least 5-7 minutes.
We've cooked the chicken for 5 minutes.
And now, we are going to add
750 gms of Basmati Rice which I had soaked for almost an hour.
I'm going to cover the meat with the rice.
1 and a ½ liter of water to this.
Stir this slightly.
Just gently try and mix all the flavours.
We are going to cover this and cook it on a medium flame
for about 15 minutes, till the rice is just 80 % done.
Let's take a look at how the biryani is doing after 15 minutes of cooking it!
The rice looks almost done!
Let's sprinkle ½ a tsp. of Garam Masala.
Let's sprinkle a tsp. of Fennel Seed Powder.
A tbsp. of Ghee, let's just drizzle this.
Some Saffron Water.
A tbsp. of Kewara water.
If you do not have Kewara water you can use Rosewater as well.
Let's sprinkle some freshly chopped Coriander Leaves.
Garnish it with some Fried Onions.
And now, let's cover this and cook it
for another 10 minutes till the rice is completely done.
It's been 10 minutes. We'd kept the biryani to cook.
And I'm sure now, this moist biryani is ready to be served.
It is looking absolutely lovely.
And it is smelling delicious.
Let's remove this in a serving bowl.
Freshly chopped Coriander.
Some Fried Onions.
And our Muradabadi Biryani is ready to be served.
You saw what a quick, easy and a simple recipe this was.
