Wash and soak the basmathi rice for 15 - 20 mins. When chicken and rice are soaking, grind the biryani masala powder and keep it aside.

In a pressure cooker add the ghee and oil mentioned above, add the cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, cloves, cardamom, marathi moggu and sauté for 3o sec.


Now add the onions, green chillies and sauté until golden brown. Now add the tomatoes, half the mint leaves and sauté until mushy. Now measure the amount of water available in the cooked chicken, keep the chicken separately and just get the masala water. If the masala water is one cup add 2 more cups of water to it. Now add this water to the sautéed onions.


Add the nutmeg powder, biryani masala powder, salt and yogurt and let it boil real well. Now add the basmathi rice, the chicken and rest of the mint leaves, when it starts to boil. Close it tightly with the lid and cook it for 10 to 12 min, or just one whistle.


Now yummy biryani is ready, finally garnish with cilantro. You can sprinkle some saffron water or red color on top of the rice, which is totally optional.


Quick and simple chicken biryani is ready to be served.

      Thank you very much for the comments. Since its basmathi rice 3 cups of water is enough for 2 cups of rice...

    1. Thanks a lot for stopping by sir, I happy that ur planning to try the biryani.
      You can use 1 kg of rice(use chicken with bone for more taste), For marination: Yogurt 2 1/2 to 3 tbsp, redchilli powder 3 tsp coriander powder 2tsp (adjust spice level to your taste ) ginger & garlic paste 1 1/2 tbsp. As far as biryani masala powder is concerned increase everthing by just 1/2 or 1 piece or you can use the shop bought masala powder also. Do let me know how your biryani turns out. All the best. I hope I answered your question. Please keep coming back.
