How to make Restaurant style Chicken Biryani at Home

Masala Café The core of the dish

Biryani is one of the favorite dishes of Southeast Asian countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc. This dish originally originated among the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent, especially during the Mughal dynasty. However, the biryani masala manufacturers in kolkata we are making today is slightly different from the original. This has changed over time depending on our priorities and our region.

 You can find Hyderabadi Biryani, Lucknow Biryani, Kolkata Biryani, Chettinad Biryani etc.They are slightly different from each other, but the core is the same. So Masala Café Biryani and Pulao Masala are perfect for any kind of biryani.

 Let's check out the delicious restaurant style chicken biryani recipe with sunrise biryani and pulav masala powder.

 Wash the basmati rice and soak it in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Then chop the onion, ginger, garlic, tomato and chili and mix until smooth. Cook the rice until it is half cooked, then set it aside and let it cool.Now heat the pan and add oil or ghee or both as per your preference. Add the pasta and cook  for a few minutes. Then add the protein of your choice and cook  until the oil separates. If you use chicken, the cooking time will be shorter than red meat. Once the chicken or meat is ready, take a large pan and grease it  with ghee. Add half of the rice, then sprinkle with Masala Café Biryani Masala Powder in Kolkata and Pulao Masala and season with salt.Then serve the chicken and sprinkle again with Sunrise Biryani and Pulao Masala. Add the final layer by adding the rest of the rice, kewra water, cafe biryani masala and pulao masala rose water, salt and ghee. Pour in some water, cover  and cook over low heat for 5-10 minutes. Serve hot with raita or chaatni.

Calcutta (Kolkata) style Mutton Biryani instructions

Wash the mutton and add all the ingredients mentioned in the marination list, mix well and cover and keep it in the fridge overnight or for at least few hours..

For Homemade Garam masala powder, grind all the listed whole garam masalas in the mixer grinder and keep it an air tight container till you use.(I don't dry roast it)..

Soak the saffron. Boil the eggs and peel it when once cooled. I soaked saffron for almost 3 hours for its lovely color and aroma..

Peel the potatoes and half it add the salt, turmeric, garam masala powder, veg oil and water and boil them covered for 30 minutes and open for 5-10 minutes till all the water evaporates and you are left with the oil only....fry the potatoes in that oil..

.

.

For the fried onion - Peel and thinly slice the onions, separate it and add cornflour. In the meantime, heat the veg oil in a kadai and add it in two parts to fry....fry it till the onion slices are golden brown and crispy and then keep it on a kitchen tissue paper to absorb the extra oil if any. It hardly takes 10 mins to fry all the sliced onions..

.

.

To cook the mutton, use the same oil in which you had fried the onions,add the ghee also into it and heat it. Once heated add the bay leaves, green cardamom, cloves and black cardamom..

Once the whole garam masala crackles, add the onion and cook for almost 15 minutes till it starts to brown..

Then add the marinated Mutton and saute/bhunno it for 15 minutes or so, add the ginger, garlic,chilli powder,coriander & Cummin powder, salt in between..

Then add 5 cups water (rinse the kadai in which the potatoes were cooked and add into the mutton) and cook the mutton for an hour or till it is cooked (it depends on the mutton piece size and cooking time of mutton varies from places to places) at the end add garam masala powder. The salt should be more in taste than usual time as the rice will absorb some while giving dum..

Cook till the the oil seperates from the gravy and Mutton is well cooked..

In the mean time, wash and soak the rice for at least 30 minutes or so....get the whole garam masala as mentioned..

Add whole garam masala and salt to the water and let it come to boil. Once the soaking time of rice finishes add it to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes and add lemon juice to it and cook for another 3 minutes or so till the rice is 80%done..

Drain the rice water and keep the rice ready for assembling..

Bring everything and keep nearby to assemble for Dum - cooked rice, mutton, fried onions, ghee, rose water, Kewra water, garam masala powder, dried rose, soaked saffron, cooked potato and boiled eggs..

Take a thick bottom pot. Apply ghee at the bottom, put a layer of rice at the bottom, mutton, generous pinch of garam masala, fried onions and a about a tablespoon of ghee. Then another layer of rice, potatoes and meat along with gravy, garam masala, ghee, fried onion and then again a third layer of rice with egg, garam masala, ghee, saffron with soaked water,rose water, kewra water, mitha Ithar(if using)..

Cover the pot with aluminium foil and then the lid so that the steam doesn't escape and the biryani gets a good dum for 10 minutes on high flame (I use a worn out preheated tawa at the bottom to avoid the rice from burning). Then put off the flame and let it rest for another 20 minutes or so..

Your Biryani is ready to be served. Serve it with ghol(curd preparation), raita or Lachcha pyaz and firni for dessert. Bon Appetit!!!!.

Know All About Biryani Masala

Different dishes in our country have heritage that even includes the Indian history. Same is the case with Biryani. The Indian subcontinent has been ruled by many foreign rulers and it only makes sense that they brought their food and cuisine when they came to India. The Arabs, Afghans, British and Persians all left behind a rich culture of food and feasts. Biryani was introduced to the subcontinent by Arabs and Persians.

Biryani is traditionally made with chicken or mutton with rice and rich spices. The dish has its roots in Awadh or modern day Lucknow. The nawab sent his chefs to make biryani from locally produced spices and the chef created the now famous Hyderabadi biryani. Another variant of the biryani was also made in Kolkata where the chefs added potatoes to the dish.

Biryani is made in many parts of the world but the one that is cooked in India is particularly different because of the spices and flavours that are used in its preparation. There are many different variants of the biryani on the basis of different regions of India where it was cooked like in Chennai, Assam, Kashmiri and so on. But one thing that remains constant is the spices, whole or powdered.

Spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, different varieties of seed, star anise, bay leaf, and so on. This spice blend can be made at home or you can used a biryani masala online. The pre made spice blend is an easier alternative to making it at home from scratch and it gives the same aromatic and rich taste to the biryani.

INDIA

Indian cuisine dates back over 5000 years. Each region has its own traditions, religions and culture that influence its food. Hindus tend to be vegetarian and Muslims tend to have meat dishes, although pork is forbidden. Indian food has been influenced by Mongolian, Persian and Chinese cuisine, among others. The common thread throughout the centuries remains the distinct mixing of spices that invariably give Indian cuisine its flavor and aroma. 

INGREDIENTS 

Indian ingredients are as varied as the Indian people and the available foods of each region. Masala means spice blend. Certain foods use certain spice blends. For instance, birlyani masala—cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and fennel—is used for birlyani, an oven-cooked dish of rice and a vegetable, seafood or meat. Chilies, mustard seeds, gram flour, coconut and yogurt are popular ingredients in all types of Indian cuisine. Ghee, a type of clarified butter, is used for cooking, and has a toasty taste. Saffron is used to flavor and color rice dishes. Over 5,000 years you learn to use what you have and be creative with it. 

REGIONAL CUISINE 

Food choice varies north, south, east and west. Indians from the north eat flat breads like chapati and naan, while Southern Indians prefer to eat rice and coconut. The versatile coconut not only provides milk, it thickens stews, makes a chewy snack and is used in many sweet southern dishes as an ingredient or as a garnish. Western India is more cosmopolitan, but is known for its traditional spicy curries. Mumbai, formerly Bombay, at the heart of the region, is flooded with city dwellers, students and workers. They all have their traditional cuisines, but seafood and curries, hot and spicy sausages and snacks with chai tea are popular traditional fare. East Indian food relies heavily on rice, milk and vegetables, prepared simply with yogurt, seeds and spices steamed and curried. East Indians love their sweets and use milk and other dairy products abundantly in them. 

DESSERTS 

rice pudding, similar to rice pudding in America, is called kheer. It consists of basmati rice, milk, raisins, sugar, cardamom seed and almonds. Kulfi, is an Indian ice cream made by boiling reduced milk, which is then chilled and then flavored with mango juice, rose water and sweetened with sugar. Gajar Halwa, a carrot dessert, coconut soufflé, mango mousse and Gasgase Payasam are also popular desserts. Eastern India is well known for its sweets. 

DRINKS 

Chai is a tea commonly consumed upon rising each morning. It is made by adding milk, sugar and black cardamom pods to steeped teabags. Sweet Lassi is a yogurt shake that can also be flavored with mango, a popular fruit, much like a smoothie. Ginger and lemon tea are also popular and can be used for medicinal purposes, such as indigestion. Carrot Gheer is served by adding carrot to cold milk. Alcohol is rarely consumed as it is forbidden in many Indian cultures. Tea is more popular than coffee, coconut milk, mango, guava and sugarcane juices are popular

and sold in roadside stands and kiosks. If you want something salty, Jal Jeera, water and cumin, might be to your liking. 

POPULAR DISHES 

Indian cuisine makes best use of what is available, which is why each region has its own popular dishes. Dal, a lentil dish, is popular in the North. Meen Moli, a white fish curry, is loved in the South. Western Indians can’t get along without Vindaloo, a pork dish. East Indians love their sweets—one of the most popular being Chhenagaja—chhena, flour and sugar syrup. Halwa, a popular breakfast dish, consists of wheat, butter, sugar and almonds or pistachios. Indian snacks include samosas, a spicy turnover stuffed with potatoes and peas and a puffy rice, yogurt, tamarind and potato blend snack called bhel puri. Kabobs, meatballs, tandoori (clay-baked) chicken, rasam soup, and rice cakes, called idli, are popular dishes 

POPULAR INDIAN FOODS 

BIRYANI 

I don’t think many people can quibble with the divine accolades showered on biryani after sampling a plateful of the wonderful stuff. It’s a traditional Indian food that is one of India’s most famous and beloved dishes. Biryani is a dish that was popularized in the royal kitchens of the ancient Mughal Emperors. If cooked in the traditional way, a biryani takes many hours to prepare and cook. Alternate layers of meat and rice are piled on top of one another and drizzled with ghee and spices. Then the assembly is sealed in an earthenware pot or ‘handi’ and slow cooked for many hours in an oven. 

The meat component in the Biryani might be chicken, goat meat, prawns, beef, lamb or fish. Alternatively, vegetables or paneer might be the mainstay of the vegetable biryani. A medley of spices lends this dish its heavenly appeal. Saffron, nutmeg, mace, cardamom, cinnamon, bayleaf, onions, garlic, ginger and so much more perfume this dish.The different types of biryanis can be as numerous as the plethora of ingredients. Choose from Hyderabadi Biryani, Awadhi Mutton Biryani, Sindhi Biryani, Kolkata Biryani etc. 

BUTTER CHICKEN 

When you talk about popular Indian food, you have to include Butter Chicken. Did you know that Butter Chicken was made as a result of a happy accident? It is said to have been accidentally created one day when some leftover chicken curry was added to creamy tomato gravy. Butter chicken is one of Delhi’s most famous foods. 

Butter Chicken is a decadent main dish which is best eaten with naan bread or tandoori roti. The chicken is soft and tender and submerged in a buttery, silken gravy, flavoured with a variety of spices. The butter gravy with a tomato sauce renders this dish with pleasing mild but rich flavours. The success of the dish depends largely on the marination of the chicken in a mixture

of lemon, plain yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste and spices. Ideally the chicken should be slow cooked in a tandoor oven but it may be cooked on the stove top too. Cardamom, cumin, fenugreek, cinnamon, cloves and coriander are the dish’s secret ingredients 

KEBABS (veg and non-veg) 

Kebabs are an Indian food that doesn’t need a special introduction — they are an iconic Mughal dish that is well-known all over the globe. Although kebabs have become a household name, you will be amazed by the variation in types of kebabs when you come to India. Choose from vegetarian and non vegetarian options. The names of some well loved non vegetarian kebabs are murgh malai kebab (chicken cheese kebabs), boti kebab, reshmi kebab (relatively low spiced), galauti kebab, tangri kebab, hariali kebab and more. Pieces of marinated meat are pierced with skewers and then grilled to tender perfection. Vegetables like paneer, potato and cauliflower are particularly tasty when grilled using this technique. 

TANDOORI (veg and non-veg) 

You can’t mention Punjabi food without tandoor. A tandoor is a wood or charcoal fired clay oven and the tasty morsels of meat or veg that come out of it are called tandoori. Tandoori Chicken is made by marinating chicken in yoghurt and tandoori masala and then grilling it in a tandoor. The tandoori masala lends the chicken its characteristic vibrant colour, which is due to the addition 

of cayenne pepper, Kashmiri chilli powder, turmeric and red food colouring. Tandoori chicken can be eaten as an appetizer or as a main dish. It is often eaten with naan bread. Using the same techniques of marination and grilling, vegetables or paneer can be used for preparing delicious tandoori vegetables. 

CHOLEY BHATURA 

Choley Bhatura is a satisfying dish that hails from the state of Punjab — a classic Punjabi food. It is a dish of spicy chickpeas (Choley) and a very large, fluffy, deep-fried bread (Bhatura). The meal is eaten with carrot pickle, onions, green chillies and chutney.The unusual fluffy texture of the Bhatura is created by kneading the flour with yoghurt, oil and either baking soda or yeast. 

Choley Bhatura can be eaten as a breakfast food but it’s substantial portion size and the richness of the bread create a deep feeling of satiety. I would recommend eating the meal at lunchtime and taking a long walk afterwards to aid digestion. 

PALAK PANEER 

Palak paneer (spinach and cheese) is a vegetarian that has a very pleasing silken texture and that is low on the spices. The palak, or spinach, component consists of cooked spinach that has been blended to a smooth pulp. The puréed spinach is then tempered with garlic, ginger and other spices. While the smooth spinach blend is simmering, paneer pieces are popped into the mixture and slow cooked to maintain their softness. You can eat palak paneer with plain white

rice or scoop it up with pieces of naan or tandoori roti. A bowl of palak paneer is delicious and nutritious. You can skip the green smoothie on the days you opt for palak paneer. 

DOSA 

Dosa on a banana leaf is a famous Indian food 

The dosa of South India is one of the most famous and delicious Indian foods 

This is a dish that hails from South India and is the closest Indian counterpart to the continental crepe. Made from a fermented batter of rice and black gram daal, it is then cooked to a crisp on a heavy tawa. Dosas are wonderful as hearty brunch, lunch or even dinner food. The masala dosa usually has a mild potato and onion curry stuffing. The sada dosa, comes just as is. A paper dosa has been stretched to a paper thin texture and a rava dosa is crunchier due to the addition of semolina. All dosas have the obligatory hot vegetable daal or sambar as accompaniment, along with a minced coconut chutney. 

IDLI 

Idlis are like the softest, fluffiest white cakes made of steamed rice and daal. The rice and urad daal is soaked for many hours, then stone ground to form a smooth batter. The carbohydrates in the batter are considerably broken down during the fermentation process of preparing the batter – making them easier to digest and also very tasty. The batter is steamed in an idli maker – and lo and behold you have idlis. They make the ideal breakfast food with sambar daal and coconut chutney. You can break them into pieces and pop them in your mouth or you can soak them in the daal and eat them in spoonfuls. They have a spongey texture which means they soak up any kind of liquid very well. Either way, they are the perfect healthy, non-greasy food to eat when you want to eat something non-spicy. 

SAMOSA 

Available at every street corner and neighbourhood sweet shop, the samosa is everybody’s favourite savoury snack. You can also find them as popular entrees on restaurant menus. The simple samosa is a pastry pocket, stuffed to the seams with a potato filling. The triangular shaped pastry pocket is then deep fried to a golden hue and then the samosas are served hot with a mint, coriander or tamarind chutney. The filling, though usually made from potatoes, can incorporate cauliflower and green peas when the vegetables are in season. You can even find meat filled samosas. Typically eaten as an evening snack in India, they must be accompanied by a cup of steaming masala chai. 

GULAB JAMUN 

balls of Indian sweet gulab jamun 

Gulab jamun is a famous Indian sweet that simply melts in your mouth

Gulab jamun is one of the most iconic Indian sweets and will surely give you that sugar high, particularly if you have a sweet tooth. ‘Gulab’ means rose in Hindi and ‘jamun’ translates to berry. The jamuns are made from milk solids or ‘khoya’ that has been reduced from milk by heating it over a low flame for a long time. They are then kneaded into small berry sized balls to the softest, fluffiest consistency with a little flour, then deep fried to a caramel colour in ghee or oil and then flung into the sweetest rose syrup. Flavoured with cardamom and sometimes saffron, they are the ultimate, decadent treat. 

LASSI 

Lassi is the perfect thirst quencher on a hot summer’s day. Made from plain yoghurt that has been watered down and whisked to frothy goodness, you can drink a sweet lassi or a salty one with hints of cumin. Sweet lassis can be indulgent affairs with the fruit pulp of mangoes. Drink it from a tall glass with a long straw to quench your thirst. Alternatively, rosewater may flavour a sweet lassi.

Hyderabadi chicken biryani..😋🍛🍗👇 One of my signature dish made with marinated chicken is one of the most flavourful Biryani. Chicken is marinated for atleast 2 hours or overnight using Yoghurt , fried onions, chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder,garam masala and salt. Chicken thighs and legs are preferably used for chicken biryani as these are the juiciest and do not become dry while the biryani cooks. . . . . . . . . . . #ricerecepies #biryani #biryanirecipe #kolkata #kolkatabiryani #chikenrecipe #chikenbiryani #chiken #ricechicken #biryanilove #biryanilovers #saturday #saturdaylunch #signaturerecipe #dumbiryani #hydrabadibiryani #lunchtime #lunch #spicy #spicyfood #instafood #instalunch #foodie #foodporn #foodphotography #punerifoodies #streetfood (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCNhmo6A2Dw/?igshid=gqogra18ahu3

Steps to make Calcutta (Kolkata) style Mutton Biryani:

Wash the mutton and add all the ingredients mentioned in the marination list, mix well and cover and keep it in the fridge overnight or for at least few hours..

For Homemade Garam masala powder, grind all the listed whole garam masalas in the mixer grinder and keep it an air tight container till you use.(I don't dry roast it)..

Soak the saffron. Boil the eggs and peel it when once cooled. I soaked saffron for almost 3 hours for its lovely color and aroma..

Peel the potatoes and half it add the salt, turmeric, garam masala powder, veg oil and water and boil them covered for 30 minutes and open for 5-10 minutes till all the water evaporates and you are left with the oil only....fry the potatoes in that oil..

.

.

For the fried onion - Peel and thinly slice the onions, separate it and add cornflour. In the meantime, heat the veg oil in a kadai and add it in two parts to fry....fry it till the onion slices are golden brown and crispy and then keep it on a kitchen tissue paper to absorb the extra oil if any. It hardly takes 10 mins to fry all the sliced onions..

.

.

To cook the mutton, use the same oil in which you had fried the onions,add the ghee also into it and heat it. Once heated add the bay leaves, green cardamom, cloves and black cardamom..

Once the whole garam masala crackles, add the onion and cook for almost 15 minutes till it starts to brown..

Then add the marinated Mutton and saute/bhunno it for 15 minutes or so, add the ginger, garlic,chilli powder,coriander & Cummin powder, salt in between..

Then add 5 cups water (rinse the kadai in which the potatoes were cooked and add into the mutton) and cook the mutton for an hour or till it is cooked (it depends on the mutton piece size and cooking time of mutton varies from places to places) at the end add garam masala powder. The salt should be more in taste than usual time as the rice will absorb some while giving dum..

Cook till the the oil seperates from the gravy and Mutton is well cooked..

In the mean time, wash and soak the rice for at least 30 minutes or so....get the whole garam masala as mentioned..

Add whole garam masala and salt to the water and let it come to boil. Once the soaking time of rice finishes add it to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes and add lemon juice to it and cook for another 3 minutes or so till the rice is 80%done..

Drain the rice water and keep the rice ready for assembling..

Bring everything and keep nearby to assemble for Dum - cooked rice, mutton, fried onions, ghee, rose water, Kewra water, garam masala powder, dried rose, soaked saffron, cooked potato and boiled eggs..

Take a thick bottom pot. Apply ghee at the bottom, put a layer of rice at the bottom, mutton, generous pinch of garam masala, fried onions and a about a tablespoon of ghee. Then another layer of rice, potatoes and meat along with gravy, garam masala, ghee, fried onion and then again a third layer of rice with egg, garam masala, ghee, saffron with soaked water,rose water, kewra water, mitha Ithar(if using)..

Cover the pot with aluminium foil and then the lid so that the steam doesn't escape and the biryani gets a good dum for 10 minutes on high flame (I use a worn out preheated tawa at the bottom to avoid the rice from burning). Then put off the flame and let it rest for another 20 minutes or so..

Your Biryani is ready to be served. Serve it with ghol(curd preparation), raita or Lachcha pyaz and firni for dessert. Bon Appetit!!!!.
