Hi! This is Smita Deo and Welcome to 'Get Curried"
Biryani is one of our favourites, don't you agree?
And today, I am going to show you
how to make a quick, easy, a delicious and a fragrant Sindhi Biryani.
I have 1 Kg of Chicken over here.
Which I am going to marinate with 2 tbsp of Garlic Paste.
2 tbsp of Ginger Paste.
5 Green Chillies that I have slit
These Green Chillies that I have taken are the spicy variety
1 cup of Yogurt.
Here I have a special Biryani Masala, which I have prepared.
The recipe is going to be given in the description.
So do not worry.
This whole Garam Masala, I am just going to add to this.
It has got Aalu Bukhara, Whole Spices and Bay leafs, Chilli powder.
Just let's mix this.
This Garam Masala also has 2 tsp of Salt
So while we are going to cook this, we are going to adjust the Salt later.
3 Fried Onions over here.
Just simply take 3 Onions, slice them and fry them.
Crpsy and Golden.
2 Tomatoes that I have just chopped.
Not too fine.
And now I am going to use my hand and I am going to mix this well
Massage the meat and marinate the Chicken for at least 10Hour
The longer you marinate, the better your biryani will taste.
So what I am going to do right now
is going to add some freshly chopped Coriander Leaves,
Some freshly chopped Mint Leaves.
Mix this well.
You know the aroma of freshly ground Garam Masala
really is so amazing and it gives your dish such a fabulous taste
Now I am going to just cover this
and keep it in the refrigerator for almost an hour
I marinated this meat for an hour in the refrigerator
Let's heat 1/2 a cup of Oil.
This Oil that I am using here,
I have used it to fry Onions, it is the same Oil.
So, once the Oil is hot.
I am going to simply add the marinated Chicken to it.
Here I have 3 Potatoes which I have peeled and chopped.
And I have soaked it in Turmeric water
because I wanted a lovely, beautiful, yellow color to the Potatoes.
Just mix this well.
Let's add a tsp of Salt.
Just going to take 1/2 cup of water in this,
and I am just going to rinse this vessel
So that all the marinate and species, go into the curry
just add this.
Just give it a final stir.
And cover this, and cook it on a low flame
till the Potatoes and the Chicken is cooked.
I had kept the Chicken to cook for almost 30mins
And I am sure it is done
The aroma is absolutely delicious.
The chicken is cooked really well and so have the Potatoes.
It's time to layer the Biryani.
So I am going to switch off the flame
and I am going to the Biryani in this vessel of mine
For that, I am going to first put a layer of Oil on this and just spread it.
I have 1Kg of Basmati Rice,
which I had soaked for an hour and then I had boiled it till it was almost 80% done.
We are going to add some of the rice at the bottom.
Going to sprinkle some Coriander Leaves.
Some Pudina Leaves.
A few slices of Tomatoes.
A few slices of Lemon.
Some Ginger
I have soaked some Kesar in water, I avoid soaking it in milk.
Because in the water I feel the color comes out way better, going to add a little bit
A few drops of Rose Water.
A few drops of Kewra Water.
Some fried Onions.
And now I am going to put a layer of the Curry.
Put a layer of Rice on this now.
Going to follow the same process.
Going to add some Oil
Some Saffron water.
Some Tomatoes.
I have these beautiful Green Chillies, slightly big in size.
They give an amazing aroma to the Biryani
And a little sweetest taste as well, I am going to add that slices of Lemon
Some freshly chopped Coriander,
Mint,
Ginger julienne.
Some Rose Water.
Some Kewra water.
Some fried Onions.
And I am going to cover this with Foil.
You can cover it with a cloth as well.
Cover this
and I am going to put a lid on this
And then I am going to cook it on a dum on a low flame for 20mins
We kept the biryani on a dum for 20mins
Let's open this up now
You can see the steam
Wow!
Our Biryani is ready to be served
It's advisable to just remove the layers from the side
rather than putting you spoon in the middle
So just gently pick up the pieces in the rice from the side
And our Sindhi Biryani is ready to be served.
You saw what a quick and easy recipe this was
Serve it with a ddelicious raita
