Chicken Biryani

[aakyviky]

I just prepared this biryani and it came out delicious!!! I didn't use the microwave 'cos I had to make a bigger batch. I layered everything on a pot and kept on the fire with a thin skillet below the pot and with a very low heat, cooked about 15-20mins... Simply love it! I have done Hyderabad biryani, south indian, various types ..I should say this is ONE of the best :) Thanks for sharing....

[jeera222]

amazing recipes with a lot of taste

thanks a lot to you please keep it up like this

i have tried ur karahi which came out absolutely amazing

great

[indiafoodrecipes]

First time here. You seem to have an exhaustive collection of Indian recipes including videos. I was looking for a chilli paratha recipe while I chanced upon your site.

[crazyhotelier]

stop giving wrong recipes for people in your dummy English slang. people watching this think this is the actual recipe and follow it till they find out its wrong. if you want the actual method of mughlai dhum biryani, ask me. its a lot different from this jhatka biryani you posted.

[crazyhotelier]

what if i dnt have a micro ovn? anyways, i believe meat goes as first layer but never does rice. except for you. main ingredients are spices and yogurt. tomatoes are not good to taste in biryani. anyways nice mixture of chicken curry and rice. nice pulao.

[chefkalpak]

Hey excellent recipe thank you so much for the share, hope to see some more traditional recipes from you:) God Bless

[SovereignOfSpice]

THANKS FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE.I bought yoghurt today and it was the first time I cooked rice in the microwave ,I always cook it on the stove ,it was really very DELICIOUS.Thank you very much for the recipe.

[jawad384]

Can you please Carpediem 43 tell me whether rice taste delicious in case I do not have yoghurt?

[carpediem43]

jawad384,does'nt matter,add some extra tomatoes,but ofcourse with yoghurt.it will taste little better.

[punking12341]

Im a indian guy but and are thinking of learning to cook my own buryani.

[kfarookahmed]

Mashaallah Very good way of making biryani. Would try it tomorrow. Give us more such recipes

[AllUrUtubeRbelong2me]

It looks delicious. I can't find Kewra water or essence at the market. Can Rose Water be used as a substitute? Or is that the wrong flavor. (I've never tasted Kewra)

[carpediem43]

@AllUrUtubeRbelong2me ,sorry for the late reply,Kewra is added khushboo in biryani,it has no taste.I have never tried rose water,I dont think it will be a good substitude..

[terajasoos]

@AllUrUtubeRbelong2me

i tried but rose water doesnt work

[09Radha]

we miss this test for long. my family: love it. I realy really appriciate.Thank you sooooo much.

[SuperBasketball98]

You don't need all these ingredients just to make biryani

[terajasoos]

stupid brit woman is making it complicated---just need shaan biryani mix----it has all those ingredients needed---maybe u need saffron and salt separately---milk is not needed at least not in pakistani style chicken biryani

[kunjione]

one of the best recipe i have used and turned out well. Thanks ya

[nidhikaas]

[ramya302009]

very nice recipe but please tell me how to cook on stove...last part after puting layers....thank u so much for the recipe

[carpediem43]

Instead of layering in glass bowl,set it in a cooking pot,and keep it on very slow fire/simmer(dum) for 10 to 15 mins,thats it.

[Imjat2002]

Assalam alykum wr. wb.

Nice recipe!! Can you tell me how many grams of rice is it?

Allahafiz

[MsDamaz]

2 cups of rice. Half our soak.

[bahoss]

[javidstar]

[Lafabulosa21112]

I made chicken biryani last night for the first time and my boyfriend loved it. Thank you so much for this great recipe.

[arrowheadny]

Biryani in a micro wave?

[smemerald91]

so normally, in a pot you would layer it JUST like that and then slow cook it on the stove for around 5 mins, then mix and cook for about 5 mins more?

[carpediem43]

Yes ,normally when we cook on stove,we layer biryani in the same way but keave it on simmer (dum) on very slow fire for atleast 10 to 15 min.and its done.

[rahaman131]

mi sembra buono ma non ha messo troppo masala??

[bayoubiju]

Very good Biryani. Pakistanis and Bangladeshis cook good Biryanis.

[beetha316]

The taste of Indian chicken biryani is different than Pakistani chicken Biryani.....need viewer comments

[shehzadi26]

How many minutes do I have to put rice in the water beofre it's half cooked?

[carpediem43]

Soak rice for 10-16 mins & then put it in boiling water & cook until rice is half cooked(approx 8/10 mins)

[xeia16]

Hi carpediem Just want to know how much water you should put to cook 2 cups of biryani rice

[carpediem43]

Hi xeia16,If you are cooking rice for biryani then there is no need to measure,still for 2 cups of rice approx.4/5 (same)cups of water is enough.

[ems61316]

search on google, spice in the box.

great for makin curries

[MrYazzful]

hnmmmmmmmmmm yummy yummy

[dimputhegreat]

carpediem43 you have a very sweet voice and lovely hands and fingers,can i lick them?

[BeenishAyaz234]

nice video..Thanks for sharing with us..keep your videos coming..

[Cappadoccia04]

I really enjoyed watching this video. I'm preparing myself for when I do decide to make this dish. Thanks!

[chyanke]

good i will try dis i really like different way of making biryani.i will try it on weekend INSHALLAH

then let u know how it goes ;-)

[ahuja15]

i made this dish today with your recipe and it was awesome! thank you so much!

[SoDesilicious]

This is a very unique way of cooking biryani... Because the original way is to not put any tomatoes... And my Paki boyfriend's mom cooks it all in the pot in layers... No need for microwave..

I think this way of cooking is ideal for people who are scared of burning their biryani in one big pot. Most likely for students who are away from their moms.. lol.

Well done.

[ahsen221]

Dear Caprdediem good try...I can cook better contact me dear...Allah HAfiz

[Srijithcts]

Great recipe! We tried it as the way you explained and it has come up realy tasty... lovely video... Thannksssss

[lankapaul]

EXCELLENT.

Where did you learn this? May I drop in for a taste of biriyani done by the expert? I kive ckose to you.

[carpediem43]

you are welcome to come over any time :)

[livealife25]

Carpdiem

You mentioned that we can cook this in a pot, can you tell me how long it apporximately takes to cook it and do we cook it on low heat?

[carpediem43]

Dear livealife25,the procedure will be the same ,but the last part,i:e microwave part,you can do it in a pot as well,it should take 10 to 15 mins.depending on the quantity of rice.

[livealife25]

Thank you very much, I prefer the stove to the microwave so I will do that. Your recipes are great!

[Tamannaz]

gr8..thank u

[chefcommons]

Nice work, we liked your video very much so we embedded it on ChefCommons . com w/ link back and reference to Youtube. (Let us know if you don't wish for it to be featured)

[irum678]

I like the recipe and the choice of ingredients. But disagree with the adding of yogurt. Chicken should to be marinated beforehand with the yogurt.

[godsowncollection]

Thanks for the recipe. Looks YUMMMMY. Would try this out this weekend. Hoping for the best!

[tooba1980]

Looks delish!

[muse425]

thanx ... love the microwave makes things sooooo much easier

[tooba1980]

yup it may not be the most gourmet, but microwaves are definitely an important kitchen tool and help a lot

[bmaksa]

I hate the microwave!!

it was all good but then,,,, microwave!!!!!

I'd rather not :P

thanks ^^

[Basimjay]

Thanks for quick and fantastic recipe I always cook with almost same process except the last step of putting it in mirco that was nice.

I was reading some comments above, don't mind stupid comments 95% of Desi people are sick and worthless etc so don't mind them

[tooba1980]

I find it nicer to use a disposable foil tray in the very end using the same layer process and heat it in the oven on 350 degrees.

[carpediem43]

You are right Tooba,thats another way of doing this,especially with larger quantities.Thanks for sharing,we all are learning from each other.

[livealife25]

Thank you very much. Great instructions.

This is the first time I cook Biryani and it was a great success. I replaced the microwave part by stovetop. Can we also put it in the oven instead of the microwave?

[carpediem43]

Dear livealife25(nice name)Yes,if you are cooking in a big quantity,then oven is the best idea.stovetop,microwave or oven..every thing is fine,basically its keeping rice on "dum",thats all.

All the best.

[livealife25]

Dear carpediem43

Thank you very much!

[AnasAlex10]

Looks delicious, but I don't like microwaves I always prefer fire. =S

[aalliiyyhhaa]

too much work

[SROMasterful]

very nice video, good explaination but you should try it without food colouring, use paprika instead. And marinate the meat for a few hours :)

Also, microwaves are very bad :(

[Jems2q]

Hiya iv lrnt so much frm u and the food has turnd out nice. can u help 2 cook tandoory chickhen. and chickhen curry with out the yorgert.tx u

[vijnur]

very interesting.However,i'll prefer to cook in a pan.How long will it take then?

[carpediem43]

Hi vijnur,

Ofcourse u can do that in a pot aswell,U should keep the pan on simmer(Dum)for 10/15 mins on a very slow fire.

[carpediem43]

U can use any ready made geram masala like Shan or National.all are good.

[Alshaytana]

ill marry you

[Kenarah]

Thanks for the recipe , but I noteced that you use food coloring and microwave , I'v read it's not healthy ......

I wish if you can teach us how to make dood ka halwa xD

[BanarsiPaan120]

Good recipe, although it`s been proven that macrowaves kill vitamins out of the food..

Lekhin phirbi, Muje bhout bhook lagrehi hain aapki biryani ko dekh ke!!

[carpediem43]

Thanks BanarsiPaan120.Try it.Its nice & easy.

[SSG311]

thankyou aunti for sharing

[ruthere85]

u r from uk

[sujaSEB]

Hi, At the end , I saw you covering the microwavable bowl. What did you use for covering? Is it a normal plate?

[carpediem43]

Hi SujaSEB,Its a microwave cover available in all store,If u dont have that cover, u can cover it with any plastic plate as well.

[bullsfix6]

Very nice! Enjoy all your videos.

[rajratt]

forgive my ignorance...but what was the liquid you poured from the bottle...is it like rose essence/water?

[carpediem43]

It was kewra,available from any indian/pakistani store,it gives a nice aroma to your dish.rose water is mild but this kewra is essence thats why much stronger.(should use only 2/3 drops.)

[sumit5008]

HI...i made it today and i must say ur recipe rock! it came out awesum....my husband and i luved it very much! thnx a lot for sharing...wud u plz let us know how to assemble without microwave also? thnx again!

Hi..thanks..if not using microwave,u can assemble your biryani in the same way but in a saucepan & keep it on very low flame(dum)for 15 to 20 mins.depending on the quantity.

[taqi2]

Biryani is pretty exotic too. I just put everything in a pot with shan masala and hope it turns out ok. Yours takes considerably more love :)..therefore I am sure tastes gr8

[Frosty1877]

[kiLLaHz99]

[carpediem43]

Thanks for your advice, you should see our bhindi masala video (our first one) and the aaloo palak video and see how much we have improved. we are always learning lol :P

[angaar69]

no its not... this was a great video... microwave biryani... who would have thought about that?... this lady is a very smart chef.

[BanderaBuddy]

I have been married 12 years to Pakastani. I have tried many dishes, but there always seems to be something missing. Your cooking video's are WONDERFUL. I can actually SEE how brown the onion's should be (and they are described differently from American recipes) I can't wait to see all your other video's. I am now excited to start cooking. By the way I noticed one for Zarda Rice. It's the best, could never make that either!!!! Thank you.

[bestiaccia]

It looks delicious!

[fallamsalam]

holy crab! that was... very good i guess
