Grilled Chicken Briyani & Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri ;)



First of all, let me take the opportunity to wish my dearest cyberfriends, (fellow bloggers and readers)... Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri....Eid Mubarak ;)
Have a safe and fun celebration!


Now to my Grilled Chicken Briyani recipe. As you know, I don't trouble myself to make technically difficult dishes, lol. Here, I used an electric rice cooker to cook the briyani rice. Just add the grilled chicken to the rice once it's cooked. Done!

I would use the same Briyani Rice recipe and add any style of chicken or mutton dishes. I prefer the chicken and mutton is well cooked before mixing them in the rice. 



GRILLED CHICKEN BRIYANI

Ingredients :~

(A) For grilling ; Marinade
  • 500gm boneless chicken (preferably thigh or breast part) ~ cut into medium chunks
  • 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 tbsp chilli powder
  • 6 tbsp plain yoghurt
  • 1 tsp garam masala 
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt


(B) For the rice ;
  • 4 cups Basmathi rice ~ washed and soaked in water for 20 minutes
  • 1 cup plain yoghurt
  • 4 1/2 cups water (depending on your rice)
  • 6 tbsp of ghee
  • 1 large piece cinnamon stick
  • 3 pcs cardamom
  • 2 star anise
  • 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 6 shallots ~ sliced
  • 2 green chillies ~ sliced
  • 1 tbsp briyani powder ~ I used Baba's brand
  • handful of mint leaves ~ chopped
  • handful of coriander leaves ~ chopped
  • salt
  • yellow colouring


Method :~
  1. Firstly, marinade the ingredients for grilling for about 1 hour or longer. 
  2. Prepare the rice before you grill the chicken pieces.
  3. Wash soaked Basmathi rice and drain excessive water, keep in rice pot.
  4. Heat up ghee in a wok. Saute all the spices and ginger-garlic paste until fragrant. Add shallots, green chillies and coriander leaves. Add briyani powder and mix well. 
  5. Add the ingredients to the rice, stir using a wooden spatula. Add yoghurt, water and salt to the rice and mix well again. Be gentle, don't break the rice.
  6. Now, cook the rice until it's cooked. 
  7. Meanwhile, grill the marinated chicken on a grilling pan without oil or in oven until tender.
  8. Once the rice is cooked, do not turn off the switch. 
  9. Make some holes using a chopstick, and add yellow coloring. Do not stir immediately!
  10. Place the grilled chicken pieces over the cooked rice. Close the lid and just keep the rice in warm mode.
  11. After 30 minutes, gently mix the rice until even. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves before serving. 
  12. Goes well with cucumber raita, chicken curry, dhalca or sambal ;)

Note ;~ You may add Tandoori spice powder to the chicken. And it becomes Grilled Tandoori Chicken Briyani ;)






Thank you for stopping by and Happy Holidays!
