Chicken Biryani In Pressure Cooker
January 09, 2017
Biryani is mainly prepared with rice and some kind of meat, unlike its counterpart Pilaf which is a vegetarian version. But, nowadays, you will find mix-n-match of both.
Who doesn't love Biryani?? and if that too prepared in a pressure cooker, life becomes so easy. Even your kids will love it as this is less spicy, unlike other biryanis. This is the main reason I ended up making this biryani for feeding my li'l son.
Just to make it clear, I haven't used any biryani masala. It's as simple as that. There are fewer chances that you might have stock of pudina/mint leaves. So, better buy a small bunch before you start off. As it will enhance biryani's taste.
How To Make Chicken Biryani in pressure cooker:
1. Marinate cleaned chicken with all the ingredients mentioned under 'Marination'. Mix well and keep aside for at least 30 minutes.
2. Wash rice 2-3 times. Drain the water completely. Keep aside till you prepare for biryani. No need to soak the rice, as it will get cooked easily.
3. Heat oil or ghee in a pressure cooker. When hot, add all the ingredients under 'Tempering'. Stir it.
Tip: Adding salt to onion will help to cook fast.
5. Add mint and coriander leaves and tomato. mix well. Cover and cook till tomatoes get mushy.
6. Open the lid and add marinated chicken and pepper. Mix well. Cover and cook till chicken starts to change the Color and releases water.
9. Open and serve hot with your favourite raita. I served along with onion carrot raita.
