  • Thanx a lot.its very good.now i learnt hyd biryani.....

  • that,s panjabi Chicken Biryani

  • Thank you chef for the video...It's an easy way to make tasty biriyani. I was searching for a recipe which can give juicy chicken and fluffy rice and your ideas helped me a lot. When we tried, it came out very well. Thank u once again.

  • Great Idea. Its so easy. Before i use to cook chicken and rice side by side and then use to mix it. That was hard. Thanks for idea.

  • Do try it out and let us know how it turned out to be.

    Happy Cooking!

  • I cudnt believe that I made it.. it was soooooooo nice.. thanks..

  • @sanjeevkapoorkhazana

    Sir,

    I want to make chicken biryani, but unfortunately dont have a gas, we only have a Hot plate. The thing with hot plates is that they dont become cold as soon as you switch them off. So how to manage the cooking on low heat right after we have high heat.

    Best Regards

  • Hello Chef Harpal, I know you are an expert of Hyderabadi cuisins, but would you mind to show us how to make Awadhi dum pukht biryani ?

  • Your request has been noted down. Kindly be patient till the video is uploaded.

Thank you so much again and keep up all the good work. Harpalji you do a really good job at explaining the steps well. Sanjeev ji I am still waiting for my Old Delhi Style Chicken Curry!!! :) Keep up all the amazingly good work.

  • Thank you for the appreciation. Kindly be patient for your request, till then do try other recipes and let us know how they are turning out to be.

  • Hi!

    Wonderful recipe! Can't wait to try it.

    Couple of questions:

    (1) Ready-made garam masalas tend to vary a lot. Are there any brands or blends you would recommend?

    (2) If I check the biryani at the end of 20 minutes and it isn't cooked, should I reseal with dough and continue cooking or could I just cook it for longer with the lid closed?

    Thanks in advance!

  • You can use any brand of garam masala as per your taste. Also, if the biryani isn't cooked after 20 minutes, you can reseal it and cook for a longer time till it gets cooked. Do let us know how it turned out to be.

  • 11.25 Chef you speak the truth about the aroma!, we were a group of five Hyderabadi students in UK and cooked biryani for the first time in our flat one Friday evening. Before we knew we had our British neighbors knocking on the door saying that they coudn't resist themselves from coming over and asking what were we cooking. They tasted Hyderabadi biryani for the first time and you would not believe it we started getting orders from everywhere and that provided extra money for us!

  • That's really great! Keep trying more and more recipes and let us know how they are turning out to be.

  • sir, thank you for showing us this recipe. I wanted to ask what do you mean by "brown onions", is it roasted white onions?

    Thanks,

    Ravi

  • Did you use more than 1.5 cups of rice? It looks like a lot more than 1.5 c.

  • Hi Chef,

    It’s a good, simple but delicious biryani.

    I tried it and it did come up well, the kids just loved it

  • too loud you deaf hommo

  • Hello Chef! The biryani looks delicious but in the video it looks like you used more than 1.5 cups of rice. Is it just my imagination? Also, if I want to double the recipe, how long and at what temperature should I cook the biryani if I want to put it in the oven instead of stove top?

  • how high is the flame when you are cooking the biryani? is it medium-high heat?

  • Yes, the heat is medium.

  • Much respect and grattitude for you placing this video on here. Very intellegent, insightful and full of integrity. My dissents: Quality Chicken Biryani with the top taste and texture is not burnt on the bottom it is cooked evenly around. However you are not cooking Quality Chicken Biryani you are cooking Authentic Biryani as of which you spoke about (Soldiers during the War). This is why you're Biryani videos stand out amongst the others, you provide the historical and cultural aspect.GodBless

  • Thank you for the appreciation. Keep trying more and more recipes and let us know how they are turning out to be.

  • Thanks a bunch Chef! Tried this awesome recipe, but I added whole garam masala and added few more green chillies came out very well!

  • That's great! Keep trying more and more recipes and let us know how they are turning out to be.

  • Is there any preference of type of onions that need to be used - yellow, red or white???

  • @ajuba13 - not sure what kind of onions are used, but you can buy this packaged for about $3 at an Indian grocery store. It's labeled as gourmet crispy "Fried Onion," (Chirag brand) but don't by it online (its $14 online!!)

  • singh is king singh is king u r rocking sir :)

  • You can try the recipe of 'Gosht Biryani' and 'Kachche Gosht ki Biryani' under the recipes section on the website. Also, muslin cloth is 'mulmul ka kapda' in Hindi, which is easily available at any cloth store.

  • You are a genius ! 

  • hi its too interesting to make..we always buy biryani and always experimenting at home but until now i cant make it perfect.thaks for your video and it gives new hope to make it again...but im concerned with the brown onion how to make it, and can we buy it prepared already..i like it coz it gives a contrasting sweetness against the spicy ingredients that makes the food balance..

  • Looks good sir, thanks!!!

  • Do try the recipe and let us know how it turned out to be.

    sanjeevkapoorkhazana

  • @sanjeevkapoorkhazana iam sure this wud taste gr8....i alwys use raw onions instead f fried wth th chikn...shd try fried version...n shdnt we add roast cashews n raisins?

  • Dear Harpal, Thank you for the authentic recipe. One important questions though. What is the hyderabadi Garam Masala made of? I ask this because there are various Garam Masalas with different combinations and quantities of spices. If we don't use the correct hyderabadi garam masala, the outcome might not be as expected.

  • Comment removed

  • Dear Sanjeevkapoorkhazana, I am a little late in expressing my gratitude for this recipe. I'm a 30 yr old seafarer with a flair for cooking. I first tried this about a month ago ... & there has been no looking back since! I've made this Biryani almost 6 times now & it keeps turning out awesome! The tastiest part being... it puts a smile on my Parents' faces who are in love with the dish! :) I'm definitely going to be searching for more of your recipies... Thank You sir & God Bless you ! :)

  • @sanjeevkapoorkhazana Thank you, I will be trying it.

  • Great recipe ! Tried it yesterday and turned out excellent.

    One addition would be, add raisins when cooking. Thanks for sharing !

  • Perfect.. I compared warewa.com biryani with this both are equally good.. only what i did like that you added sahi jira and garama masala stuff in boiling water.

    Only concern is cooking the chicken.Since it is Kacchi Biryani proper pot needs to be used to get chicken cooked within 15 minutes.

  • Hello Sanjeev! Thanks for this awesome yet simple to follow recipe. I tried it last week & my whole family loves it. I dun think i will buy from outside anymore should i feel like having briyani again. Am definitely going to try your other recipes as well. Thumbs up, and cheers from Singapore! :-)

  • hello singh gee.....your recipy is quite different i have ever seen...i am wonder that how can chicken is cooked in 10 to 15 minutes...anyway i liked the way you prepared the dish...so that i have decided to try it....there is some confusion about the heat level .... should it be high , medium or low after sealing the pod for dum..???

  • Hi Chef,

    if the quantity is double as in this video, how much will be the cooking time, is it double as the quantity, or is it same time irrespective of quantity.

    Regards

    Tancin

  • The time will not be doubled. But it will certainly take more time to cook.

  • Chef is it ok to use Golden Sela rice for Biryanis?

  • You can use any good quality basmati rice.

    Happy Cooking!

    sanjeevkapoorkhazana

  • Chef do i need to double all the ingredients if i want to make the biryani of double the chicken & rice? Also wanted to know if the time taken for cooking would be the same or more. I am going to try cooking in a dutch oven pot on the gas stove. please advice.

  • The quantity of whole masalas should not be doubled. If the recipe specifies use 4 cloves, you can use 6 cloves for double recipe.

    Happy Cooking!

  • Chef can i use butter intead of ghee?

  • Yes, you can. But for authenticity, the use of ghee is always preferable.

  • I made this today and it came better the chef's, very tasty and excellent recipe,

    Thank you

  • Great recipe! I love that you can do so many different versions of biryani! by changing the method (kuchi vs the regular), meat, spices. I completely agree with you that boned meat is much better. Not sure why restaurants in the USA insist on making boneless biryani. Without bones, it loses its flavor! Thanks again for sharing. I'll try this recipe:)

  • Do let us know how you like it once you try it out.

  • Hi,

    Many thanks for this biryani recipe. Had tried it earlier and it was awesum!!!!

    I will be making it again this weekend...and I also have to make the veggie version of this biryani for 3 adults.

    Could you tell me what veggies should I use and in what proportion...what about the marinade? Also, for hw long should I cook them on steam? Would veggies get cooked faster? Will the recipe remain same or alter?

    Looking forward to your reply......or another video on veg biryani... :D

  • I was able to pull it off in my second attempt.. Thanks.....

  • Good try! Do let us know about other recipes as well.

  • what are brown onions? can I omit them or substitute with something else?

  • Slice the onions finely and fry them till brow. There is no substitute for brown onions in the biryani recipe.

    Happy Cooking!

    sanjeevkapoorkhazana

  • @sanjeevkapoorkhazana exactly!! brown onions are essential for this and one type of quorma and Aloo Gosht. I sometimes buy prebrowned ones from the grocery store, typically on an emergency basis. day to day cooking i always brown them myself!

  • I'm going to try cook this today for my husband's birthday dinner.

    He loves biryani and he feels that the biryani here in Singapore is not biryani at all.

    Lets see how it goes Mr Singh :)

  • nice video. would this work in a slow cooker by any chance because I live at college and there isn't a stovetop in sight.

  • hello dear sanjeev.hope u doin fine..the problem that come across me is rice cooking.they get very soft..does it depend if rice is old one or new one also?

  • Singh Ji, Can you cook this in the oven? If yes, at what temperature and for how long?

  • The biryani tastes best when made on the cooking range. However you can seal the vessel with the dough and put it in oven at 180degree centigrades for 15 minutes.

  • This does seem pretty easy but I'm afraid that the chicken wont be thoroughly cooked. I tried a recipe like this and the chicken turned out not fully cooked. The best method I've tried is cooking the chicken with ingredients until its over 1/2 cooked and than layering it with the 3/4 cooked rice for about 15mins.

    I will give this method another try and see how it goes. Thank very much for sharing your recipe. Looking for to many more recipes from you.

  • Chicken does not take much time to cook. It will get cooked by the time the rice gets cooked.

    a little work on accent is needed.. just joking..

  • I am a first time cook, with Italian wife who loves to cook Indian. Tried this dish, followed everything carefully; came out fantastic. Very handy, especially for foreigners, the idea of covering the spices in a muslin cloth so that they are not "eaten".  Now encouraged, going for Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken. Thank you very very much!

  • Pork Biryani is the best. Pork and rice have been an essential part of "eastern food". Arrival of religions from the Arabian areas banned pork and yet all of china and south east asia always has pork with rice. Next time try pork biryani!

  • very tasty recipe! makes amazing biryani! Thank you!

  • Thanks to this video of yours, I, a 29 year old newly wed guy, made delicious biryani on an otherwise lazy sunday evening and both me and my wife cherished it. thank you so much.
