  • 1 1/2 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste
  • 3/4 tsp Chilly powder
  • 2 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder

  • or
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon juice
  • 1/4 Cup Mint leaves Pudhina
  • 1/2 Cup Coriander leaves

Instructions
 

  • Keep the rice soaked in water, until it is ready to be added to the pressure cooker.
  • Heat oil or butter or ghee in a pressure cooker.
  • Saute ginger and garlic paste.
  • Add onion and saute well.
  • When onion turns golden, add chilly powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, cloves, cardamom and cinnamon(whole or powder) and saute.
  • Add tomato and crushed green chillies and saute.
  • Add curd or lemon juice to this mixture and mix well.
  • Add salt.
  • Add chicken pieces and mix well.
  • Cover the pressure cooker with a lid and cook the chicken for 5 mins on medium-high heat.
  • :- 5 mins is enough for broiler broiler chicken to be half cooked. I am assuming that chicken is half cooked by doing this, allowing the rest of the cooking to happen with cooking rice under pressure.
  • Drain the rice and keep it aside, while chicken is getting cooked.
  • Now open the cooker and add mint leaves, coriander leaves, roasted cashew nuts, drained rice, rose essence and mix well.
  • Add 1 1/2 cup of water and mix well again.
  • :- For 1 cup of rice, add 1 1/2 cups of water. :- Check the level of salt and add, if reqd.
  • Cover the pressure cooker with its lid.
  • Put the pressure regulator weight on the lid.
  • Pressure cook upto 1 whistle.
  • Open the cooker and give a gentle stir.
  • Instant Biriyani is ready.
