one chicken cut into desired pieces
1 cup oil
2 medium size onions
2tbsp coriander seeds whole
2tbsp fennel whole seeds
2 bay leaves
6 whole black pepper
6 cloves
8cloves of garlic
2 to 3 black cardomom
1 cinamon stick
2tbsp ginger garlic paste
2tbsp yoghart
salt to your taste
5 cups of rice
how to cook
add water to the chicken bcz we need the stock to cook the rice in it so put enough water that the chicken cooks and atleast 3 cups of stock is there,if you are cooking meat then more water.
ok now in te utensil add chicken ,water,1 onion, garlic cloves,fennel,coriander and one bay leaf
let all this cook on medium high dont let the chicken cook for long.Heat oil
now take 2 sliced onions fry to golden brown and add all the garam masala ie:black pepper,cloves,black cardamomand bay leaf fry this then add ginger garlic paste add little water so this does not burn fry till you can smell the cooked ginger garlic and the onions then add 2 tbsp youghart fry again to make it like light brown .Now add the chicken make sure you dont put the stock and rest of the the ingredients fry chicken in the the gravy then add washed rice and add the stock without the rest of the ingredients so you have to use a strainer so that only plain stock comes out. there should be enough stock so that the rice can be cooked so i measure it with a a cooking utensil spoon.It should dip half or little more .cook high when it boils cook in medium high then when you see the stock is finshed put it on low heat cover and let it cook on low heat atleast 15 minutes.
serve with yoghart.or with yoghart raita add salt cucumber chopped onions green chilli and mint leaves .
