Cookd masalas for chicken biryani cut
Method
In a deep pan, pour ghee and all the whole garam masalas, once they turn aromatic, add the sliced onions. Saute on a moderately high flame until the onion turns golden brown (around 6 minutes). Add ginger garlic paste, mint and coriander leaves and saute for 2 minutes or until the raw flavour disappears.
Add the sliced tomato, salt and all the powdered spices. Cook the mixture until the tomato turns mushy (around 4 minutes). Add the whisked curd, and thoroughly mix, add the chicken and saute on a moderate-high flame for 3 minutes.
Pour water and bring to a boil, add the soaked basmati rice and bring it back to a boil. Cover and cook on a simmer for 12 minutes. Let the biryani rest for 10 more minutes and break the dum. Serve hot with raita.
