Serves: 6 people

Preparation time: 180 min

Ingredients

basmati rice – 500 g
chicken thighs – 800 g
greek yogurt – 200 g
onions – 3
garlic cloves – 4
ginger – 30 g
tomatoes – 3
ghee or oil – 3 tbsp

coriander powder – 1 tsp
chilli powder – 0.5 tsp
stock or water – 900 ml
fresh coriander – 1 bunch
fresh mint – 0.5 bunch
salt – to taste

Method

1. Marinate the chicken with yogurt, ginger, garlic and spices so it becomes tender and deeply seasoned. 2. Fry the onions until golden and sweet, keeping some aside for the final finish. 3. Cook the chicken with tomatoes until the sauce becomes thick and aromatic. 4. Add the rice and stock and let everything cook gently until the grains are tender but separate. 5. Fold through coriander and mint and let the biryani rest with the lid on so the perfume settles. 6. Finish with the reserved onions and serve in a large dish or straight from the pot.
