My Easy Cooking

 Ingredients:-

Chicken 1 Kg

Basmati rice 700 g

Salt 1 tsp or to taste

Red Chilli Powder 1/2 tsp

Degi Mirch powder 1 tsp

Turmeric Powder 1/2 tsp

Coriander powder 1 tsp

Cumins Powder 1 tsp

Dry ginger   1/2 tsp

Garlic paste 1 tbsp

Yoghourt 110 g

Oil 60 or 70 ml

Onions 4 medium

Whole Spices

Fresh Coriander

Fresh Mints 

Garam Masala Powder 1 tsp

Kewra water 2 tbsp

Rose water 2 tbsp

saffron milk 50 ml

Instructions:

Clean and wash the chicken thoroughly for at least 3 times. Add a some salt and 1 tbsp vinegar, while washing the chicken(this will help to get rid off the smell to an extent)

Marinate the chicken with Salt, Red Chilli Powder, Degi Mirch powder,

Turmeric Powder, Coriander powder, Cumins Powder, Dry ginger powder, Garlic paste, and Yoghourt. 

 After Marinate, keep it aside for at least ½ hour.

To cook basmati rice separately, soak it for about an hour in water. Wash the rice gently to remove only the starch and avoid breaking the grains. Meanwhile, fill a big vessel halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Add 1 tsp cooking oil and 1 tbsp salt once the water begins to boil. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes after adding the soaked and washed rice, stirring gently once. Keep an eye on the rice because some brands of basmati rice cook quickly while others take longer.

My rice was cooked in 6 minutes. Drain the water immediately and spread the rice on a large plate.

In a deep bottomed pan add oil, once oil gets heated add 4 medium onion slices and fry it until brown (don’t burn the onions). Remove half  browned onion from oil and keep it aside. This will be used for garnishing and will make the layers.

In the same cooking part add marinated chicken and (add a little bit of water in bowl clean spices with water)mix well. Move until it starts boiling, then lit cook for 10 mins. After 10 minutes remove some chicken gravy and keep it aside.

Now add half cooked basmati rice over the chicken and gently spread the rice to cover the chicken. add 2 tbsp chopped Fresh Coriander and Fresh Mints add 1tbsp  Kewra water, 1tbsp Rose water and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. At this stage you can use the gravy that you removed, over the rice  this will add flavours to the rice and also give colour
