Ingredients | Shan Biryani Masala Powder Recipe

1 ½ cups basmati rice

water

7 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

7 ounces skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice

½ tablespoon grated fresh ginger

½ tablespoon minced fresh garlic

1 ½ teaspoons garam masala, divided

salt and ground black pepper to taste

3 tablespoons ghee

2 whole cloves

2 pods cardamom, crushed

1 bay leaf

½ cinnamon stick

1 teaspoon coriander seed

1 teaspoon brown mustard seed

¾ teaspoon cumin seeds

1 large red onion, cut in half and thinly sliced

1 ½ cups chicken stock

½ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro

¼ cup roughly chopped fresh mint leaves

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon red chile powder

Directions

Thoroughly rinse basmati rice in a strainer until water runs clear. Transfer rice to a bowl, add fresh water to cover, and set aside for 30 minutes.

Place chicken breast and chicken thigh pieces in a large bowl. Add Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Drain rice and remove marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), select Saute function, and add ghee. When ghee starts to bubble, add cloves, cardamom pods, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, coriander seed, mustard seed, and cumin seeds and saute until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring often, until tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Add chicken and extra marinade to the cooker. Saute until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Turn off Saute function. Add rice, chicken stock, cilantro, mint, remaining 1 teaspoon garam masala, turmeric, paprika, and chili powder; stir until well mixed.

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 6 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Fluff with a fork and serve immediately.
