Method
Wash and clean the chicken really well. Add the yogurt and turmeric powder to the chicken and marinate it for about 1 hour.

Grinding the Biryani Masala

Meanwhile let’s prepare the masala for grinding. Cut the onions, peel garlic & ginger, wash the cilantro and mint thoroughly, slit the green chillies and get them ready.

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a kadai, add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves, fennel seeds and fry until nice aroma fills the room.

Add the onions, green chillies, ginger, garlic, salt and sauté really well until they turn golden brown.

Now add the cilantro, mint and sauté for another 2 minutes and switch off the stove.


Let it cool, transfer it the mixer jar and grind it a fine paste.

Cook the Chicken

Now let’s cook the chicken. In the same kadai add the ground green paste in medium flame. Add the marinated chicken, salt and mix thoroughly.

Cover and cook the chicken until really soft and all the water has evaporated.

Wash the basmati rice and soak it for 30 minutes.

Cooking the Biryani

Heat oil & ghee mixture in a pressure cooker, add cinnamon sticks, cardamom, cloves, star anise, bay leaves, fennel seeds and sauté until rice aroma arises.

Now add the onions, green chillies, pinch of salt and sauté until translucent.

Add the tomatoes and fry until they turn mushy.

[Now add enough water to the cooked chicken, the water added to the chicken green curry paste should all together be 4 ½ cups, the ratio of rice to water is 1: 1 ½ cups.]

Add the chicken along with the green water mixture to the tomatoes and let it boil really well.

When it comes to rolling boil, add the basmati rice, lemon juice, required salt and pressure cook for one whistle and switch off the stove.

Flavourful, colourful and delicious Green Chicken Biryani is ready to be enjoyed.
Serve it hot with onion raita or any raita for your choice.
