Ingredients · 16 items ShowHide

For the chicken

  • 1 kg chicken, cut into pieces
  • 3 tbsp Sanam Shahi Biryani Masala
  • 5 tomatoes, crushed
  • 6 tbsp plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp fried onions
  • 1 tbsp ginger & garlic paste
  • 1½ tsp salt, or adjust to taste
  • 2 green chilies, chopped
  • Sliced onions, as desired
  • Oil, as needed for cooking
  • Fresh coriander and mint, to taste

  • Fried potatoes, as desired
  • Fried onions, for layering
  • Hard-boiled eggs, peeled, as desired
  • Water, for boiling the rice
Method · 7 steps ShowHide
  1. Marinate the chicken: Mix the chicken with the Shahi Biryani Masala, tomatoes, yogurt, fried onions, ginger & garlic paste, salt, and green chilies. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a little oil in a heavy-bottomed pot. Sauté the sliced onions until golden, then add the chicken and marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is nearly cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Stir in the coriander and mint.
  3. Prepare the potatoes and eggs: Fry the potatoes until golden and cooked through. Hard-boil and peel the eggs.
  4. Prepare the rice: Rinse the basmati rice, then boil until approximately 80% cooked—the grains should be mostly tender with a slightly firm center. Drain well.
  5. Layer the biryani: In a heavy-bottomed pot, alternate layers of chicken, potatoes, rice, and fried onions. Arrange the boiled eggs among the layers and finish with rice.
  6. Steam gently: Cover tightly and cook over very low heat for approximately 15–25 minutes, until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
  7. Rest and serve: Remove from the heat and leave covered for 10 minutes. Gently spoon through the layers and serve with raita or a fresh salad.

Timings are approximate and vary with the size and cut of chicken. Quantities for ingredients not specified in the original preparation suggestion can be adjusted to your preference
