Chicken Biryani in Microwave image

Biryani is a rice dish, that is cooked either with chicken or meat. It can be made in various ways. When I first started making Biryani on the stove, my biggest problem was when I added the rice, the water would not get absorbed and my rice would get mushy. Making it in the microwave, can be a bit tedious, but definitely a good way for beginners to learn how to make biryani. Hope you enjoy my chicken biryani!!

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and the rice was mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This biryani was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was tender and the rice was fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

Not bad for a microwave biryani! The chicken was a bit dry, but the rice was flavorful. I think I'll try cooking it in a traditional pot next time.
