Chicken pieces: 10(quite big ones) Yoghurt: 1 cup Lemons: 2 Oil: 2tbsp Ginger-garlic paste: 2tbsp Turmeric: 2tsp Chilli powder: 4 spoons( I always like it spicy so I add quite a lot) Saffron- mix in a glass of warm milk and keep aside Marinade the chicken with all these pieces and leave in the fridge for atleast couple of hrs. How to make: Take a large saucepan filled with water and let it boil, then add 4 cups of rice and as soon as the rice is half cooked, drain all the water and spread them on a large plate so that the grains don’t stick !! I know its such a lengthy process but I know the end result is superb and mouth watering!! Take another saucepan and fry onions, chilles and cashewnuts in little oil until they are in golden colour, take them out and keep them aside. Now add another tbsp of oil and cook the chicken pieces until they are properly cooked and all the water is completely absorbed. Make sure u don’t add extra water just cook in medium heat. Now take a large heavy bottomed vessel, add some ghee and add a layer of rice and then few pieces of chicken, onions and cashewnuts and pour some of the milk with saffron in it, repeat the same with the last layer on the top being rice!!!then add chopped coriander and mint leaves and cover with a lid very tightly and cook for around ½ hr in very low flame or u can bake for the same time in the oven. That’s it!!! Amazing Hyderabad Dum Biryani is ready to treat u’r family and guests!!!
