HYDERABADI CHICKEN BIRYANI



Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani image

I first became obsessed with Chicken Biryani when I visited Hyderabad in the summer of 2014. In South India I tried every type of biryani possible: Chettinad Biryani, Dum Biryani, Mutton Biryani, Lamb Biryani, Vegetable Biryani, Bombay Biryani, Kerala Chicken Biryani, Pakistani Chicken Biryani. So yes, I consider myself somewhat of a biryani connoisseur. The biryani masalsa with its flavorful spices, and aroma... were incomparable to anything I expected or tasted in the US. I vividly remember my first thoughts being - if I were to be trapped on a deserted island for the rest of my life, I might be okay if I had an endless supply of this delicious biryani. After that out of the world experience, I did everything in my power to recreate the taste at home. After visiting endless biryani restaurants including: Paradise Biryani, Biryani Pot, Asiana's, etc, and after countless trial and errors with various recipes; I believe I have mastered the art of biryani. Now, to the recipe...
