9 Tips to elevate your chicken biryani to the next level 👉

after cooking biryani rice for my family, I have learned and discovered the important to take note while preparing it. please read the note 📝 below attempting the recipe. I hope all this tips and observation I have gone through so far will help you to produce the best biryani.

1. The choice of meat 🥩(if you do not want chicken biryani)

 you can use either chicken, mutton, or beef. Cut the meat into large chunks with bone-on.

2. Marinate the chicken 🐔 overnight for best result

The ingredients of the marinade differ slightly from different region and countries. Marinate the meat for at least half a day, preferably overnight if time is allowable. long marinating time is necessary because a good chicken biryani should have meat that is flavourful for every bite, not just on the surface.

3. Use fresh spices that are aromatic 

you should use ground spices for better marinating effect. Nowadays, many grocery shops provide ready-made ground it with a spice herb grinder before using it.

4. Plain yogurt is the best 

Use plain yogurt. Most of us have yogurt with fruit flavour in the refrigerator, but they will affect the taste of chicken.

5. Ghee is better than butter 

Ghee is purified butter. You can use unsalted butter as the substitution if you do not want to buy a large can of ghee, which you may not use it in future.

6. Do not oversight the importance of fried onion 

Fried onion is an essential ingredients to prepare biriyani. Since the onion paper thin, and separate them by using your hand. Stir the onions occasionally to ensure even browning, until it turns golden brown. Drain away the excess oil.

6. Use coriander and mint leaves for the freshness

Coriander and mint leaves add freshness to the rice. You can either use the whole leaves or give a few rough chops.

7. Never compromised basmati rice 🍚 with other substitutes

Basmati rice is the long grain rice suitable to prepare biryani. Since it is less sticky than other types of rice, every grain of rice is well defined and separated from each other. That is what it should be for a good biryani rice.

Cook the rice separately

you can shorten the time to cook the rice by soaking the basmati rice in water for 45 minutes before boiling it. After that, put the soaked rice in a large pot of boiling water, with the amount of water at least three times the volume of the rice.

How to check if the rice is half-cooked 

Remove a grain of rice from the boiling water and place it on a flat surface. The rice is half-cooked if you can break it into half by pressing it with your fingers. When this happens, remove the rice from heat and drain away from the water. The half cooked rice is ready to cook together with marinated chicken.

8. Use saffron to improve the flavour and aroma

Saffron is an expensive herb, which renders fragrance to the biryani. You can do without it if you can do not have saffron.

Hope you and your family love it💓 

Enjoy😍
