Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani

Biryani, also known as biriyani, biriani, birani or briyani, ¨spicy rice¨ is a South Asian mixed rice dish of the Indian subcontinent. You can make it with any kind of meat chicken, beef, seafood or you can also make it with vegetables.There are so many other recipes of birynai in my blog but this one is different  🙂 .

Why because I made it with out onion, garlic and tomatoes and yogurt. Sounds strange  🙄 I know but the truth is I didn’t have all these things in my kitchen and still I wanted to make biryani !!!!!!!!!! So another experiment time in my kitchen  😎

I am very perfectionist if it comes to my blog recipes. I mean I do many experiments in my kitchen but always write and post the 100% right and no fail recipes for all of you. So do try this biryani and you will say YES! this is awesome  🙂 

One more thing which I am going to tell you now and I know your face will be like  😯 hahaha ….. So hear it, I cooked my chicken in milk in this recipe and when I tasted it, trust me taste was so creamy and soft. 

Other method is same as we make normal biryani. I used all spices and basmati rice (ULTIMATE GUARD).

Did you taste those small shops biryanies in Karachi in sadar, this biryani tastes almost same as those. Make a very good tasting riata and serve with it.
