Toss with the chicken to coat. Set aside and marinate for 30 minutes or cover and marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours.2Step 2: Put rice into a large bowl and cover with cold water by a few inches. Swish rice with your hands to release its starch, pour off the cloudy water and repeat 2 or 3 times until water is clear.3Step 3: Cook rice partially, for ¼ less time than the package recommends, then drain and set aside.4Step 4: Whisk the tomato paste with the chopped tomatoes to combine and set aside.5Step 5: Heat oil or ghee in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add cardamom pods and cumin seeds and fry, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 15 - 20 seconds until fragrant. Add onions and sauté for 8 minutes or so, stirring occasionally, to soften. Add coriander and remaining 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add chicken and marinade to the pan and spread chicken into a single layer. Turn heat to medium-high and cook chicken undisturbed for 3 minutes. Then flip and cook on the other side for 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, bring to a simmer, cover pan and cook at a gentle simmer for 5 minutes. Then remove from heat.6Step 6: Heat milk in the microwave and add saffron threads to hot milk by rubbing them between your fingers to break them up as they fall into the milk. Leave to soak for 3-5 minutes.7Step 7: To assemble biryani, spread half the rice evenly over the chicken curry. Sprinkle on evenly: 1 tablespoon chopped mint, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, ¼ teaspoon garam masala and ¼ teaspoon salt. Drizzle on 2 tablespoons of saffron milk. Repeat with the rest of the rice, herbs, remaining ¼ teaspoon garam masala, ¼ teaspoon salt and remaining saffron milk. Cover pan tightly and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, until the rice is tender. Leave biryani to rest with the lid on for 5 -10 minutes.8Step 8: Serve with Cucumber Raita on the side. Mango chutney is also a delicious accompaniment.getsaucepan.com/r/845fcc18-ddfe-42ab-960c-c02a93b39b3d · Original: https://www.panningtheglobe.com/indian-chicken-biryani/
