Print Recipe

A large-batch, aromatic chicken biryani recipe designed for catering, featuring marinated chicken, fragrant basmati rice, and a blend of traditional spices for authentic flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 kg chicken (cut into large pieces)
  • 2 kg basmati rice (soaked for 30 minutes)
  • 8 large onions (thinly sliced)
  • 300 ml oil
  • 4 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tbsp Kashmiri red chili powder
  • 2 tsp coriander powder
  • 2 tsp cumin powder
  • 2 cups curd (yogurt)
  • 10–14 green chilies (slit)
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves (chopped)
  • 1 cup fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
  • 4 tsp garam masala powder or biryani masala
  • A pinch of saffron (soaked in 2 tbsp warm milk)
  • 2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 large potatoes (boiled and halved, optional)
  • 1 tsp red food color (optional)
  • 1 tbsp kewra water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate chicken with ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, curd, half of the mint and coriander leaves, green chilies, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Heat oil in a large tray or pot. Fry sliced onions until golden brown. Remove half for layering and keep aside.
  3. In the same oil, add marinated chicken and cook on medium-high flame for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is half-cooked. Add boiled potatoes if using.
  4. Add soaked and drained rice over the chicken. Sprinkle garam masala, remaining mint, coriander, fried onions, saffron milk, food color, kewra water, and ghee.
  5. Add enough hot water to cover the rice by 1 inch. Cover tightly with a lid or foil. Cook on high flame for 5 minutes, then reduce to low and dum cook (steam) for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Let the biryani rest for 10 minutes before opening the lid. Gently fluff and serve hot.

Notes

For best results, use aged basmati rice and marinate the chicken overnight. Adjust green chilies and spices according to taste. Layering is key for authentic biryani flavor and aroma.
