📝 Preparation Steps
1
Fry the aromatics & marinate the chicken
2
Set a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil. While heating, finely slice half an onion into rings. Add the bay leaves and fry for ⏱️ 15 seconds. Toss in the sliced onions and fry for ⏱️ 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Be careful not to burn them! Meanwhile, add the marinade ingredients (except the yogurt and chicken) to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Place the marinade paste, yogurt, and chicken in a bowl and mix to combine.

Simmer the chicken

Remove half of the fried onions with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reserve some of the oil and bay leaves for garnish later on. Add the chicken and marinade to the cast iron and simmer for ⏱️ 8 minutes until the marinade has reduced by half. Meanwhile, set a large pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil.

Par-boil the rice & soak the turmeric

Preheat the oven to 300°F/148°C. Add the rice to the boiling water and parboil the rice for ⏱️ 8-10 minutes, then drain in a colander. Soak the turmeric in hot but not boiling milk (warm it up in the microwave or in a saucepot).

Bake the biryani
8
Remove the chicken from the stove and layer the rice over top. Pour the turmeric milk over the rice in orange lines. Spoon the onion-flavored oil from the pan along with the bay leaves. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place the lid over top to seal the dish. Bake for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes or until the rice has absorbed any extra liquid and is cooked through and fluffy. Spoon the biryani onto a plate and sprinkle with fried onions and other garnishes of your choice. Enjoy.
