Chicken Dum Biryani - With Detail Photo And Video Recipe.Chicken Dum Biryani Is One Of The Famous And Popular Dish.

Chicken Biryani Can Be Prepared in 2 Ways, Pakki And Kachi. This Chicken Dum Biryani is Of Kachi Method. The Raw Ingredients Are Marinated And Placed At The Bottom And Layered With Flavored Rice ( Which Is Cooked Separately ), Brown Onions, Mint And Coriander Leaves.

For Any Biryani Marinating The Chicken Is Very Important, As It Gives Very Tender, Soft And Juicy Chicken. In My Post I Did Chicken Of Kachi Method.That Means First I Marinated The Chicken Overnight With Curd / Yogurt, Mint & Coriander Leaves, Green Chillies, Fried Onions,Lemon Juice And All The Spice Powder Mix.This Marination Made My Chicken So Soft, Tender And Juicy.

Everyone Think Of Preparing Fried Onions Is Time Taking And Not An Easy. I Just Share The Secret How To Make Fried Onions.Firstly Chop The Onions Very Finely Into Long.Then Add Rice Flour And Corn Flour Of 1:1 Ratio And Mix Or Any One Flour Also Works Well. Add Flour In Time Gap Of 5 Mins.Then Remove Excess Flour From Onions And Deep Fry. This Method Gave Me Very Crispy, Golden Brown Onions.

Preparing Is Another Task While Doing Dum Biryani Because The Rice Should Not Be Over Cooked.Cook The Rice Till 80 Percent Done Or Till 3/4th Done.Another 20 Percent Or 1/4th Is Cooked While Doing Dum.
