To make easy chicken biryani in 20 minutes, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup basmati rice, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Here are the steps on how to make it:

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute more.
  2. Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides.
  4. Add the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Add the rice and cilantro and stir to combine.
  6. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.
  7. Fluff with a fork and serve immediately.

Here are some tips for making this recipe:

  • To make this recipe vegetarian, simply omit the chicken and add 1 cup of cooked lentils or vegetables.
  • For a more flavorful biryani, you can marinate the chicken in the spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can cook the biryani in a regular pot. Just add an additional 10-15 minutes of cooking time.
  • To make the biryani ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to eat, reheat it in a pot over medium heat until warmed through.

I hope you enjoy this recipe!
