BIRYANI
1 chicken, cut into pieces
1 c. yogurt
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 sm. green chili
1 tsp. ground red chili
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. oil
2 med. onions
1/2 tsp. black cumin, ground
1/4 tsp. cinnamon powder
3 c. long grain rice (preferably Basmati)
Slice the onions thinly and fry them in 1/2 cup oil in a medium size pot until they get golden brown; take the onions out and put half of them on a paper towel and the rest in the blender. Add 1 cup yogurt, 1 green chili, 1/2 of cilantro of the 1/2 bunch, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon ground red chili, 1/2 teaspoon ground black cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder in the blender; mix these ingredients in the blender.
Now put chicken in the pot. Cook in the oil for 5 minutes. Add the yogurt mixture from the blender into the pot with chicken and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally on low heat until chicken gets a little soft and the mixture has well blended with the chicken.
Now boil rice in 8 cups of water; drain. When the rice becomes soft but not very soft, rice should stiff(??) hot tender or drain it 5 minutes before it really cooked. Take half the rice out. Spread the chicken mixture over the rice and top and spread with the rest of rice. Sprinkle with onions and cilantro. Cover tightly and put it on very low heat to 20 to 30 minutes. The Biryani is done and ready to serve.
