Description

Biryani comes from the Mughlai cuisine and has some amazing variations done in different regions where the Mughals used to travel. In my knowledge, Biryani is made with different preparations in different states of India. There can be nothing as filling as a pot full of Biryani. One such amazing version comes from the land of Awadh and is commonly known as Lucknowi Biryani. Awadhi cuisine offers some authentic Mughlai recipes that is simply unmatchable. From the aroma to the texture, every thing is just so perfect in this Biryani. Serve Lucknowi Murg Biryani with Burani Raita, Beetroot Raita or any other raita of your choice to enjoy this lip smacking dish.

  • 2 Bay leaf (tej patta)
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • 4 Cloves
  • 4 Whole Black Pepper Corns
  • 2 Cardamom pods

  • 2 Black cardamom (Badi Elaichi)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg powder , freshly pound
  • 1/2 teaspoon Mace
  • 1/2 tablespoon Shahi jeera

Directions

  • To begin making the Lucknowi Murg Biryani recipe, wash rice till you get clear water and soak it for minimum 2 hrs before cooking.
  • Wash chicken pieces nicely and then marinate them with curd, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, red chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder and some salt. Keep the chicken for marination about 45 minutes before cooking.
  • Heat oil in a big wok or a handi and add all the whole spices mentioned above and allow them to crackle.
  • Now add chopped onions and fry them till soft.
  • Now add the ginger garlic paste and fry the mix till it becomes golden in colour.
  • Add the green chilies and few leaves of mint and some coriander in it and fry well.
  • Once the oil starts leaving the sides, pour in the marinaded chicken along with the left marinade mix and mix nicely.
  • Keep the flame high. You may see the curd leaving water from sides. Fry the mix till the water evaporates completely. Keep stirring in between.
  • When the chicken mix starts getting thick, add grounded coconut, khuskhus paste (soaked khus khus grounded into a paste) and fresh cream into it. Mix properly till everything incorporates well.
  • Adjust salt and check.
  • Give a stir and close the lid. Simmer the gas flame and let the chicken cook till it gets tender.
  • Once the chicken is fully cooked, you will see oil oozing out from the sides. Turn off the gas and keep the yakhni aside.
  • Meanwhile proceed to cook the rice. In a large vessel heat water double the quantity of rice. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice in it and some oil.
  • As soon as the water is hot, add the soaked rice and allow it to cook in high flame. Add salt to the rice and let it cook till its 80% done.
  • Drain the water and pass the rice through a colander. Spread it on a large tray, so that it doesnt get sticky.
  • The next step is to assemble for dum. Heat a broad base flat iron tawa on gas and place a large handi on it.
  • Add some curd in the base of the handi to prevent the yakhni from sticking.
  • Layer the chicken mix (yakhni) equally on the base and add a spoon full of ghee here and there.
  • Now add the rice on top and garnish it with ghee, saffron soaked milk, mint, coriander, lemon juice, kewra water and some nuts if you wish.
  • Seal the handi with aluminium foil and cover it with the lid with something heavy placed over it.
  • Allow the biryani to be on dum for around 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil from one side and mix the biryani well (do this carefully as the rice may break here).
  • Serve Lucknowi Murg Biryani with Burani Raita, Beetroot Raita or any other raita of your choice to enjoy this lip smacking dish.
