Chicken Biriyani - Basmati
Details and Ingredients
Chicken Biriyani - Basmati is a Kerala-style masterpiece where tender chicken is marinated in a blend of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and spices, then layered with fragrant Basmati rice. The rice is infused with saffron, ghee, and whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, creating a rich aroma. The chicken is slow-cooked with onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and a mix of turmeric, coriander, and red chili powder, while fresh mint and coriander leaves add a burst of freshness. Curry leaves and a hint of coconut oil bring that signature Kerala touch. Cooked using the dum method, the flavors meld together, resulting in a perfectly spiced, fluffy biriyani.
Served hot and garnished with fried onions, cashews, and raisins, Chicken Biriyani - Basmati pairs beautifully with raita, pickle, or a boiled egg. This dish is a celebration of Kerala’s rich, aromatic culinary heritage.
