Biryani is a dish originally from South Asia consisting of rice with meat/ fish/ vegetables and various spices. The word Biryani from biriyān meaning 'fried, grilled'.
It is made from par boiled rice, which is then mixed with the other ingredients, sealed and put on "dum" (a very low heat, so that all the flavors inside the pot amalgamate well) for at least 45 minutes.
Chicken Biryani is by far the most popular Indian rice recipe around the globe.
Biryani Masala Powder is a spicy mix used to prepare fragrant Chicken-/ or vegetable Biryani rice. Nowadays you will find ready made powders and masala for Chicken Biryanis, but preparing a home made masala is very easy and authentic.
This recipe will show you how to first make an authentic Biryani Masala Powder. Once we have finished making the powder, we can start to marinate the chicken. This recipe is suitable for a Mid Spicy Biryani and has a good moderate aroma of spices. If you wish to have a mild tasting Biryani just leave out the red chillies.
