Velan's Cuisine Extraordinaire

[mexicomeat]

Getting ready to make chicken, marinated the meat as suggested by Mexicomeat.

Briyani Super. Only difference, I cook it in a pressure cooker (Dhum Kattu Biriyani style). The sauce, what is it please ?

Do you (or anyone) have the "Kathirikai Gothsu" 'muslim-style' recipe ? Thanks.

here you go - http://savithakitchen.blogspot.com.a...ims-style.html

for the biriyani, here is the recipe i follow:

soak basmati rice (or seeraga samba) for at least half an hour
marinate chicken by rubbing it with salt, turmeric, chilli powder and yoghurt (for biriyani use large pieces of chicken)
grind 1 whole onion and 7-8 green chillies in a blender. keep aside
take a thick bottomed vessel, add ghee, fry 1 whole onion cut length wise
add whole garam masala followed by the ground onion-green chilli paste, ginger garlic paste
cook for 2-3 min then add chopped methi leaves (lots of it) and chopped coriander leaves
cook for 2-3 min then add chopped tomatos
cook for 5 min, then add biriyani masala , salt, chicken, rice and water
cook in medium flame till rice is 70% done
reduce the flame
then put your biriyani vessel on top of a dosa tava and continue cooking (so that your biriyani doesnt get burnt)
cook the biryani without stirring until it is done.

try it and thank me later. recipe learnt from my friend in ambur, the place famous for its biriyani. I have the recipe for hyderabadi biriyani as well if you are interested.
