 Chicken Biriyani

Ingredients:

• 200g of basmati rice
• 300g of chicken thighs, cut into pieces
• 2 tablespoons of ghee
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon of ginger, grated
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon of coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon of garam masala
• Salt to taste
• 400ml of water
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Kitchen Tools Needed:

• Large pot
• Frying pan
• Lid
• Spatula
• Measuring cups
• Serving plates

Instructions:

• Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it for 30 minutes, then drain.
• In a large pot, heat ghee over medium heat and add cumin seeds. Once they start to crackle, add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
• Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes soften.
• Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
• Pour in the water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add drained basmati rice and gently stir.
• Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed all the moisture.
• Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• Fluff the biryani gently with a fork and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
