I am from Hyderabad and I would like to share the actual Hyderabad biryani. I have read many biryani recipes but that is not the way we make it.

Time 3h33m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 23

10 black peppercorns
6 whole cloves
5 cardamom pods
2 cinnamon sticks
2 whole star anise pods
½ teaspoon kala jeera (black cumin seeds)
1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves
1 bunch fresh mint leaves
1 cup plain yogurt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
2 teaspoons chile powder
1 teaspoon biryani masala powder (such as Dunya®)
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 pound chicken thighs
3 ½ cups water
2 ⅓ cups basmati rice
4 bay leaves, divided
½ cup warm milk
1 pinch saffron threads
¼ cup ghee (clarified butter), divided
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 green chile peppers, chopped

Steps:

  • Place black peppercorns, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and kala jeera in a spice grinder; grind into a fine powder.
  • Place cilantro and mint leaves in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped.
  • Combine spice powder, cilantro-mint mixture, yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, chile powder, biryani masala powder, and turmeric in a large bowl. Add chicken; turn to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator, about 2 hours.
  • Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan; add 2 bay leaves. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is partially cooked through and still firm, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine milk and saffron in a small bowl; stir to combine.
  • Heat ghee in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Reduce heat to low. Add remaining 2 bay leaves and chile peppers; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully remove 1 tablespoon of ghee from the pot; set it aside.
  • Wipe excess marinade off the chicken, discarding marinade, and add to the pot. Cook over medium heat until no longer pink, about 2 minutes per side. Spread drained rice on top. Sprinkle onions on top of the rice. Drizzle reserved ghee and saffron milk over onions and rice.
  • Cover the pot and cook over high heat, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, until rice is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
