Why Aurevale Basmati Rice is Perfect for Biryani

Not all rice is made equal. Biryani demands rice that:

  • Stays separate after cooking

Ingredients

For Rice:

  • Water for soaking and boiling
  • Salt

  • 500g chicken
  • 2 onions (sliced)
  • 2 tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 tbsp biryani masala
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • Fresh coriander & mint
  • Salt to taste

Step-by-Step Cooking Process

Step 1: Prepare the Rice

Start by rinsing the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents stickiness.

  • Soak for 20 minutes

👉 Tip: The rice should still have a slight bite.


Step 2: Cook the Chicken Masala

Heat oil in a heavy-bottom pan.

  1. Add sliced onions and cook until golden brown
  2. Add ginger-garlic paste
  3. Add tomatoes and cook until soft
  4. Add chicken and spices
  5. Mix yogurt and cook until chicken is tender

👉 Important: Cook until oil separates from masala.


Step 3: Layering the Biryani

This is where magic happens.

  • First layer: Chicken masala
  • Second layer: Rice
  • Add coriander & mint
  • Repeat layers

Optional:

  • Add saffron milk
  • Add fried onions

Step 4: Dumb Cooking (Final Step)

  • Cover with tight lid
  • Cook on low heat for 20 minutes

This allows flavors to blend deeply.

Conclusion

Making Chicken Biryani at home may feel complex, but with the right steps and quality rice like Aurevale, it becomes easy and rewarding.
