STARTING WITH COOKING JEERA RICE:

• Wash the rice for seeraga samba well. Set apart.

• Spend five minutes soaking the two dry red chilies in boiling water. Make a smooth purée after draining. Set apart.

• Wash the chicken pieces purchased from FARM2COOK online and keep it aside.

• In a large vessel, take 3 to 3.5 litres of water and boil it. Add 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of oil, and later add the soaked jeera or seeraga samba rice.

• It is essential that you cook the rice 3/4th, as the rest is to be cooked while preparing biriyani dum.

• Once its 3/4th cooked, drain the water and keep the rice aside.

TO START WITH AMBUR BIRYANI:

• Now, heat a kadai or pan, add oil. For one minute, add the cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves.

• Add 1 tablespoon of curd and sauté for 30 seconds. (NOTE: the curd will splutter)

• Saute a few handfuls of onions till golden (NOTE: dont use total amount of chopped onions, keep half for second layering).

• Add the garlic paste and cook for two minutes.

• Mint and coriander leaves should be added. Cook for a minute.

• Stir in the ginger paste and cook for two minutes.

• When the chicken is golden, add it in and give it a good spin on high heat for 5 to 7 minutes.

• Include the second half of onions and then tomatoes. 3 to 4 minutes of sautéing. They will dehydrate and release some water.

• Now include the dried red chilli paste into the mixture.

• Add salt and 1/2 cup of curd. Mix well. For 10 minutes, simmer the saucepan with the lid on a low heat.

• Bring a lot of water to a boil in the interim. As it begins to boil, add the salt and then the rice. Be sure to combine thoroughly. 7 to 8 minutes of cooking time. The rice should taste somewhat chewy when you taste it. Drain it once it has cooked for 80% of the time.

• The chicken will now be prepared. Mix the rice with the curry in a big pot.

• Place everything over a tawa with a tight-fitting lid on top, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes at low heat.
