Spicy Chicken Biryani
- 1 pack of The Spice Tailor Delhi Biryani(rice included)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 chicken thighs, skinned and ideally bone-in (if you are in a hurry, buy fillets and cut into large cubes)
- ½ medium onion, finely sliced
- Oil to fry onions
- Pinch of saffron strands
- 3 tbsp milk
- Heat the oil in a medium sized saucepan. Add the spices, including the chilli for extra optional heat and cook for 10 seconds.
- Add the chicken and brown in the oil for a few minutes.
- Add the biryani sauce and a splash of water, bring to a boil and simmer on a low-medium heat (depends how much time you have), until the chicken is cooked, around 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the pan and add another splash of hot water if the pan is drying up. If using pieces of thigh, this will only take around 6-7 minutes.
- If it is too watery, cook off some of the extra water, it should be a creamy sauce.
- Massage the rice in the packet to break up and pour over the chicken. Turn the heat to the lowest setting, cover and steam the rice to heat through, around 5 minutes.
- Simmer a good pinch of saffron strands in 4 tbsp of milk and reduce by half. Spoon over the rice.
- Heat 1" of oil in a medium frying pan. Add your onions and fry them over a moderate heat until they are golden. Keep moving them around in the pan so they colour evenly. Take out with a spoon and place on kitchen roll.
