How yo make chicken biryani

Chicken biryani is a popular South Asian rice dish that is made with a mix of spices, chicken, and basmati rice. Here's a recipe to make chicken biryani:

Ingredients:

2 cups basmati rice
2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups water
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes.

In a bowl, mix together the chicken, yogurt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the onions and set them aside.

Add the garlic and ginger to the same pot and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is browned on all sides.

Drain the rice and add it to the pot with the chicken. Stir gently to combine.

Add 2 cups of water to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.

Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5-10 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork and add the reserved onions and chopped cilantro. Serve hot.

Enjoy your delicious chicken biryani!
