Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons paprika
3 tablespoons oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced ginger
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 tablespoon tomato puree
3 ½ cups tomato sauce
1 ¼ cups water
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup fresh cilantro, for garnish
cooked rice, for serving
naan bread, for serving
Bamboo or wooden skewer

Steps:

  • Slice the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Combine the cubed chicken with the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, salt, cumin, garam masala, and paprika and stir until well-coated.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Line a high-sided baking pan or roasting tray with parchment paper.
  • Place the marinated chicken pieces on bamboo or wooden skewers, then set them over the prepared baking pan, making sure there is space underneath the chicken to help distribute the heat more evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges.
  • Make the sauce: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, then sauté the onions, ginger, and garlic until tender but not browned. Add the cumin, turmeric, coriander, paprika, chili powder, and garam masala and stir constantly for about 30 seconds, until the spices are fragrant. Stir in the tomato puree, tomato sauce, and 1 ¼ cups of water, then bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes. Pour in the cream.
  • Remove the chicken from the skewers and add to the sauce, cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve over rice or alongside naan bread.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To make the chicken tikka, it's best to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
  • For the marinade, use a combination of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, lemon juice, and salt. This will give the chicken a flavorful and tender texture.
  • When grilling the chicken tikka, make sure to baste it with the marinade frequently to prevent it from drying out.
  • For the biryani rice, use a long-grain variety like basmati rice. Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch.
  • To layer the biryani, start with a layer of cooked chicken tikka at the bottom of the pot. Then, add a layer of rice, followed by a layer of yogurt-based sauce. Repeat these layers until all of the ingredients have been used up.
  • Before serving, garnish the biryani with fried onions, chopped cilantro, and mint leaves for added flavor and color.
