👩🍳 تفصیلی بنانے کا طریقہ

⏰ کل وقت: 2 گھنٹے (تییاری: 1 گھنٹہ، پکانے کا وقت: 1 گھنٹہ)

1

چاول تیار کریں

بسمتی چاولوں کو اچھی طرح دھو کر کم از کم 30 منٹ کے لیے پانی میں بھگو دیں۔

تفصیل: ایک بڑے برتن میں 4 کپ پانی ڈالیں، تمام مصالحے (لونگ، الائچی، دارچینی، نمک) ڈال کر اچھی طرح ابال لیں۔ جب پانی ابلنے لگے تو بھگوئے ہوئے چاول ڈال کر صرف 70% تک پکائیں۔ چاولوں میں تھوڑی سی کڑک باقی رہنی چاہیے۔ چھننی میں چھان کر الگ رکھ دیں۔

💡 ٹپ: چاولوں کو زیادہ نہ پکائیں، ورنہ دم دینے کے بعد نرم ہو جائیں گے۔

2

مرغ ماری نیشن

مرغ کے ٹکڑے اچھی طرح دھو کر صاف کریں۔

تفصیل: ایک بڑے باؤل میں دہی ڈالیں، تمام مصالحے (ادرک پیسٹ، لہسن پیسٹ، لال مرچ پاؤڈر، ہلدی، نمک) شامل کریں اور اچھی طرح مکس کریں۔ مرغ ڈال کر ہاتھوں سے اچھی طرح مکس کریں تاکہ تمام ٹکڑوں پر مصالحہ لگ جائے۔ 30 منٹ کے لیے فریج میں رکھ دیں۔

💡 ٹپ: زیادہ ذائقے کے لیے مرغ کو 2-3 گھنٹے کے لیے بھی ماری نیٹ کر سکتے ہیں۔

3

مسالا تیار کریں

پیاز کو باریک کاٹ لیں اور سنہری ہونے تک بھونیں۔

تفصیل: کڑاہی میں گھی گرم کریں، باریک کٹی ہوئی پیاز ڈال کر ہلکی آنچ پر سنہری ہونے تک بھونیں۔ جب پیاز سنہری ہو جائے تو نکال کر پیپڑ کی طرح کریمپی بنا لیں۔ ہرا دھنیا، پودینہ، ہری مرچ اور ٹماٹر بلینڈر میں ڈال کر پیسٹ بنا لیں۔

💡 ٹپ: پیاز کو جلنے نہ دیں، ورنہ کڑواہٹ آ جائے گی۔

4

مرغ پکائیں

ماری نیٹ کیا ہوا مرغ مسالے میں پکائیں۔

تفصیل: اسی کڑاہی میں تھوڑا سا گھی ڈال کر مرغ ڈالیں اور 5 منٹ تک اچھی طرح بھونیں۔ اب ہرا پیسٹ ڈال کر 10 منٹ تک پکائیں، جب تک کہ مرغ کا رنگ تبدیل نہ ہو جائے اور مسالہ گاڑھا نہ ہو جائے۔ آخر میں آدھی بھنی ہوئی پیاز شامل کریں۔

💡 ٹپ: مرغ کو زیادہ نہ پکائیں، ورنہ سخت ہو جائے گا۔

5

تہہ بندی کریں

بریانی کی خوبصورت تہہ بندی کریں۔

تفصیل: ایک بھاری کڑاہی لے کر اس میں تھوڑا سا گھی لگائیں۔ پہلی تہہ: آدھے چاول بچھائیں۔ دوسری تہہ: پورا مرغ مسالا برابر پھیلا دیں۔ تیسری تہہ: باقی کے چاول بچھا دیں۔ آخری تہہ: اوپر زعفران (دودھ میں بھیگا ہوا)، گراں مسالہ، باقی بچی ہوئی بھنی ہوئی پیاز، اور تھوڑا سا گھی چھڑکیں۔

💡 ٹپ: ہر تہہ کو برابر پھیلائیں تاکہ ہر حصے میں یکساں ذائقہ آئے۔

6

دم دیں

بریانی کو دم پر پکائیں۔

تفصیل: کڑاہی کو tight-fitting ڈھکن سے ڈھک دیں۔ ڈھکن کے گرد آٹے کی روٹی لگا سکتے ہیں تاکہ بھاپ باہر نہ نکلے۔ ہلکی آنچ پر پوری 20 منٹ کے لیے دم پر رکھیں۔ 20 منٹ بعد آنچ بند کر دیں، 10 منٹ تک ڈھکا ہوا رہنے دیں (کھولیں نہیں)۔

💡 ٹپ: دم کے دوران کڑاہی کو ہلائیں نہیں، ورنہ تہہ ٹوٹ جائے گی۔

7

سرو کریں

بریانی کو خوبصورتی سے پیش کریں۔

تفصیل: ڈھکن کھولیں اور بریانی کو ہلکے ہاتھ سے اوپر نیچے مکس کریں (تہہ توڑ کر)۔ گرم گرم کٹورے میں نکال کر پودینے کے چند پتے، ہرا دھنیا اور کٹے ہوئے بادام سے سجائیں۔

💡 ٹپ: بریانی کو ہمیشہ گرم گرم ہی پیش کریں تاکہ اس کا ذائقہ برقرار رہے۔

اب آپ کی شاہانہ مغلائی مرغ بریانی تیار ہے! اس کی خوشبو پورے گھر کو مہکا دے گی اور ہر کوئی اس کے ذائقے کی تعریف کرے گا۔

👩🍳 Detailed Cooking Method

⏰ Total Time: 2 hours (Prep: 1 hour, Cooking: 1 hour)

1

Prepare Rice

Wash basmati rice thoroughly and soak in water for at least 30 minutes.

Details: In a large pot, add 4 cups water, all whole spices (cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, salt) and bring to a rolling boil. When water starts boiling, add soaked rice and cook until only 70% done. Rice should have a slight bite to it. Drain in a colander and set aside.

💡 Tip: Don't overcook rice, otherwise it will become mushy after dum cooking.

2

Marinate Chicken

Wash chicken pieces thoroughly and clean them.

Details: In a large bowl, add yogurt, all spices (ginger paste, garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, salt) and mix well. Add chicken and mix with hands so all pieces are coated with marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

💡 Tip: For more flavor, you can marinate chicken for 2-3 hours.

3

Prepare Masala

Finely chop onions and fry until golden brown.

Details: Heat ghee in a pan, add finely chopped onions and fry on low flame until golden brown. When onions turn golden, remove and make them crispy. Blend coriander, mint, green chilies and tomatoes into a paste.

💡 Tip: Don't burn the onions, otherwise they will taste bitter.

4

Cook Chicken

Cook marinated chicken in the masala.

Details: In the same pan, add little ghee and add chicken. Fry for 5 minutes. Now add green paste and cook for 10 minutes, until chicken color changes and masala thickens. Finally add half of the fried onions.

💡 Tip: Don't overcook chicken, otherwise it will become tough.

5

Layering

Create beautiful layers for biryani.

Details: Take a heavy bottom pan and grease it with little ghee. First layer: Spread half of the rice. Second layer: Spread all the chicken masala evenly. Third layer: Spread remaining rice. Final layer: Sprinkle saffron (soaked in milk), garam masala, remaining fried onions, and little ghee.

💡 Tip: Spread each layer evenly so every portion gets equal flavor.

6

Dum Cooking

Cook biryani on dum.

Details: Cover the pan with tight-fitting lid. You can seal the edges with dough to prevent steam from escaping. Cook on low flame for full 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn off heat, let it sit covered for 10 minutes (do not open).

💡 Tip: Don't shake the pan during dum, otherwise layers will break.

7

Serve

Serve biryani beautifully.

Details: Open the lid and mix biryani gently from top to bottom (breaking layers). Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with mint leaves, fresh coriander and sliced almonds.

💡 Tip: Always serve biryani hot to maintain its authentic flavor.

Now your royal Mughlai Chicken Biryani is ready! Its aroma will fill your entire home and everyone will appreciate its exquisite taste.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens:

Mozzarella balls come in many sizes. We used 1/2-inch "pearl" mozzarella balls, but other types of fresh mozzarella work equally well. If using larger pieces of mozzarella, cut it into 1/2-inch pieces.

tip 2

The key to crispy, yet tender potatoes in this sheet pan Mediterranean chicken and veggies dish is cutting them into similarly-sized pieces for even cooking. If some of your potatoes are large, cut them into sixths.

How to make a smoked spatchcock chicken on the Weber 2022

Ingredients:

(11)

For the dry rub

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp salt

1 tbsp chilli powder

1 tbsp cumin

1 tbsp dried thyme

1 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp paprika

For the chicken

whole chicken — back bone removed

1/4 cup butter — softened

2 tbsp olive oil

Method:

Mix all the dry rub ingredients together and set aside.

Take ¼ cup of softened butter and mix with 1 tbsp of the prepared dry rub. Mix the remaining 3 tbsp of dry rub with the olive oil and set aside.

For the chicken: begin by slowly separating the skin from the breast meat and spread the seasoned butter under the surface of the skin above the chicken breasts. Then cover the whole chicken with the wet-dry rub mixture. Place the chicken flatty skin-side up in a small foil container.

Before preheating your grill, fit your Weber smoker box with about 1½ cups of wood chips, chunks or twigs directly on the flavoriser bars (or on one of the sides close to the lid vent gap). In case your Weber does not have a smoker box, a foil cracker can be used instead.

Preheat your Weber grill for indirect cooking on low heat at 140 to 160°C (fit a roasting rack and shield on the cooking grate for a more even smoke and cook).

Begin cooking when the grill is preheated to temperature and fully smoking. Place the chicken flatty on the grill and smoke for about 3 hours or until fully cooked.

Allow the chicken to rest when done smoking.

Serve the smoked chicken with rustic chips and fresh chimichurri sauce.
