This Indian hyderabadi dum biryani builds its flavor from basmati rice, chicken and plain yogurt, and comes together in about 45 minutes with advanced-level technique. The method starts by marinating the chicken in the yogurt.

A 45-minute cook time that's mostly hands-off simmering or roasting.

A more involved technique that rewards patience with real depth of flavor.

Built around basmati rice, so the flavor comes from real ingredients, not a spice packet.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • 1 lb (450 g) chicken, cut into pieces
  • plus 7 more ingredients

Method

1

Marinate the chicken in the yogurt, garlic-ginger paste, biryani masala, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon salt at least 1 hour (overnight is traditional).
