Mum's Best Chicken Biryani Recipe!- Food with Chetna

[@joshpuffpufftekken]

I love the episodes were you cook with your mum :D

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much, I love them too.

[@McElhinney65]

Me too, best episodes.

[@lucianafitch]

Im Brazilian but live in USA...I gotta tell you Indian food is A-mazing and my favorite of all nation. Healthy, full of flavor dishes!

[@FoodwithChetna]

That is so good to hear, hope you will try some of my recipes.

[@ladypinkymoe7574]

This video made me cry. It reminded me so much of my Nani cooking and showing me how to do things. She was very similar to your mum in how she spoke and how she did the rice with her hands. I wish she was still here to teach me how to cook. The biryani looks absolutely delicious.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Awwww, so sorry it made you cry, hope you will try this recipe and enjoy it while thinking of her. Sending a big hug to you!

[@mariannenielsen425]

OMG your mum is super cute! Just bought your book and I can hardly wait to get started.

[@josegarciapulido4981]

That looks amazing. I love the way you cook with your mom. I do the same with mine and it is one the most relaxing things ever. Congratulations on your channel.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much, so glad you enjoy the videos, thanks for watching!

[@okzitscool]

☺

[@journeytothinify]

I just love your Mum! This looks amazing. Ive had Biryani at several different restaurants in several States but this looks far more delicious

[@FoodwithChetna]

That is lovely to hear, hope you will be cooking this soon then!

[@sinduunnikrishnan7289]

Love the rapport you share with your mum. My mother and I would always be at loggerheads in the kitchen ! Gosh I miss my mom 😞

[@ammarqadri3872]

Food made by mom is always delicious. May God bless our moms.

[@kiaa1796]

I agree with José, love your mother!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much! she does love cooking.

[@eronan03]

My local restaurant serves their biryani with a yoghurt, cucumber, and yellow lentil raita. and without it, the biryani is *NOT* the same. I've been patiently waiting for you to post a recipe, since Biryani seems as diverse in Indian cooking as Italian's "grandma's tomato gravy". Thanks much for this.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes you can eat this with many things, but this recipe is complete in itself, hope you will enjoy this!

[@Jabsgal101]

I love your mother. I love how she speaks and is not cocky.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you

[@amandajones6481]

Dear Chetna, my dad told me that when he was a young man in England (he's 79 now!) he had the best chicken biryani he's ever tasted, but he's never found one to match it since. He told me what this - obviously very memorable - biryani was like and, apart from the chopped hard boiled eggs that were in it, it sounds very like your mother's recipe and I think he would go absolutely ga ga over it..So I'm going to make it for him. ( I'll try it out on my own family first though!) I really love your channel, you're a lovely woman - so warm and friendly. Actually, I love your whole immediate family, your mum and your gorgeous children. Thank you so much for the video Chetna. As you can no doubt tell, I'm really happy to have found a recipe that I know my dad will LOVE. Lots of love and best wishes from Amanda in Australia xox :-)

[@winsomelorainepeter6773]

Excellent video! Thank you so much Chetna! its really so wonderful to see you include your Mum in your videos and this one is so special - to see her making the chicken biryani and I am so sure its absolutely delicious and the best!...such beautiful mother-daughter moments. I am sure your Mum has handed down to you all her cooking habits and routines. Seeing this video just makes me miss my Mum so much - I also learned from her quite a bit with regards to cooking baking etc. God bless you and your family!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Sorry you hear that you miss your mum. I love cooking with mine and feel very lucky to have her in my life

[@asal3757]

In Farsi we say namak for salt too!! It makes me so happy to see common words like this :) btw great recipe

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@ejaaz7260]

Sasa I speak Assamese and we say nimokh for salt.

[@hdmovieclips458]

Ejaaz Ahmed nimokh bohut suka

[@ejaaz7260]

Queen x it's namak in Urdu and Hindi as well

[@ejaaz7260]

Your King suka asey !

[@juliehart341]

I love Biriyani and love that you are cooking with your Mum, I miss cooking with mine so it's lovely to see this

[@FoodwithChetna]

It is lovely to cook with her!

[@godsowncountry3605]

What I like of Indian food is that You are not forced to stick with exotic ingredients. You just have to get all those spices just once in an Indian or Asian food shop, but all other stuff can easily purchased in virtually every supermarket.

[@glitteringstars86]

Your mum seems like such a lovely lady! Lots of love to you both ...

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks

[@manjushah2025]

Thank you for your recipe. Mum & daughter make a great team. Happy cooking 👌

[@ranila5715]

I used your mothers recipe to make prawn biryani, and you would not believe how stunned my mother was. She said it was the best meal I had ever made...thanks to you both for sharing such a scrumptious recipe ツ...

[@FoodwithChetna]

Wow, you have made me day and so glad you and your mum enjoyed it!

[@ranila5715]

ツ

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

We love Biryani! Love the variations in ingredients and flavours. Glen's Grandmother (his fathers family lived in India for 200+ years before coming to Canada) made an amazing Biryani that we just can't seem to replicate. We keep talking about doing his families Indian recipes on our channel... but two "white Canadians" might draw the ire of the internet.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes I love the variety of biryanis out there.

[@nainagoel2876]

chethna mam you are a super chef and your mum is a super chef i enjoy your videos mam

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much Naina!

[@arnabiem52]

My first I thought it is regular cooking shows. But after watching this ,somehow I really respect you. The way you translate ur mom's hindi , I appreciate you. I subscribed your channel as I love your cooking show and tried to make food .

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much Arnab. Hope you will also try some of the recipes.

[@sabahsobhan671]

I love you when you cook both masha ALLAH, may Allah always bless you.it reminds me of my mom too

[@shannahsnyder5653]

I love it when both of you are in the kitchen together

[@kaykhan4100]

Definitely trying this soon! Finally I'll be able to make Biryani that isn't out of a spice box!

[@indianforever8925]

The best biriyani I have ever cooked. Loads of thanks CHETNA for this recipe god bless you and mom.

[@shazui04]

I've never seen this technique before of pan with water whats the reason for that steam?but it's fully covered isn't it? however love your videos with your mom much love to her and the recipes are spot on thanks for sharing 🤗

[@FoodwithChetna]

You are very welcome. The reason for hot water is too let it cook slowly and making it more delicious!

[@muhibbualii4580]

thanks to you and your mom i have a unique recipe thanks for sharing

[@FoodwithChetna]

You are very welcome, hope you will enjoy it!

[@rinkyghosh2362]

Your mom is so sweet, my regards to her. Indeed this is the best Biryani dish I have come across. This is not complicated either. I cooked this biryani today, and my family enjoyed it so much. I have made biryznis earlier too but this came out so well. Many thanks to your mom.

[@Lifesaver089]

I tried this recipe today and while I’ve tried other biryani recipes before, I really liked the result of this one! This is the first one that has me doing the whole recipe on stovetop... the flavors are slightly different with the use of mint and the drop of rose water, but I really liked it. Will try this again. Every recipe of yours that I’ve tried has worked, so thank you!

[@arkapal958]

wow.......it's so great to watch this.... your mom is really adorable......i miss cooking with my mom as I have to stay away from home.... she makes it look so simple..... loved it !

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much, glad you like the videos!

[@shashikanth_tadoori]

It's not about biryani but the way she used the importance of heat for cooking that really impressed

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks she is brilliant!

[@roberthayes9842]

Great recipe thank your mum

[@bordaz1]

delicacy of the nawabs, looks great i will try it soon.....i have a request: I tried (and failed) to cook a chicken nihari, can you show us how it should be done? You're the best

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes do try and let me know how it goes. Will try and do chicken nihari soon.

[@akmroberts]

You have the most warm-hearted mom! And I love your new short hairstyle, I’m also an early grey, yours looks amazing. 😁

[@grahamhoff3867]

Great dish and your mum is a lovely lady.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes she is, thank you!

[@margaretporter6787]

I'm so hungry watching yourself and your mum cooking 😋😋😋 Thank you for this recipe I've asked a friend of my daughter for her recipe and she says no because it is to difficult to cook . I'm going to give it a go .

[@FoodwithChetna]

yes do try

[@bernardrouhi451]

Lovely mom, have to try it, can I do the last part in the oven instead?

[@bernardrouhi451]

Food with Chetna Yeah, I did that, it was great and tasty, just the rice a bit dry out, I think I shouldn't turn on the top heat.

[@flores7190]

Your mom is si cute 🥰 keep your culture alive 💕💕

[@cheeseisgross6366]

Hi Chetna! Love your channel. Question: why do many recipes ask for garam masala powder when whole garam masalas have already been added at the beginning? I prefer the flavors of the whole spices a lot more, I wonder if I can just use more whole spices or if the powdered garam masala actually add a different flavor. Thanks!

[@hally5689]

Vince Li I would like to know to!

[@BigMugsChannel]

Vince Li In general, whole spices are used at the beginning to flavour the oil which then spreads evenly throughout the final dish. It also brings out a different flavour from the spices, similar to toasting spices dry. If powdered spices were used at the beginning they may burn. Garam masala powder is added towards the end of recipes because it brings out the fresh aroma of the spices. This is especially noticeable in rice dishes (probably because of the steam created). For biriyani, everyone uses both

[@FoodwithChetna]

You need the garam masala powder to add that depth of flavour which you will not get with the whole spices. @BigMugsChannel is right about the rest.

[@cheeseisgross6366]

Thank you guys! @BigMugsChannel @Food with Chetna

[@rtfmpeople]

OMG that looks awesome! Can you use the oil you fried the onions in?

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes so usually I use the same oil to cook the chicken in and tastes amazing.

[@emmazetterlund6432]

That looks amazing! I love your cooking videos! 😀 / Emma from Sweden

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you, so glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@theinkbrain]

Are you related to Monica? I love her - gone but Not forgotten - Enkel, vacker, öm Är min vals melodi min vals fantasi En sång i en dröm….

[@khurri]

Anyways keep on making great videos and continue to visit ans review restaurants. I have been visiting London alot lately and would love to try those restaurants like dishoom. Thanks and love from sweden.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hi! thanks for following this channel and for such encouraging words!

[@elizabethridlon3385]

[@aliaiqbal1201]

Can't wait to try this! Thanks so much for sharing and big Thank you to ur mum as well!

[@FoodwithChetna]

[@Martty_4]

Chetnas mum looks so cute😊.it's important to learn cooking from our elders who know those hidden gems especially now where we are all migrating and loosing r connection 🙏

[@rinkyghosh2362]

Thank you for this receipe aunty ! I made it and was so delicious. It is not complicated and so tasty.

[@rinkyghosh2362]

Thank you Chetna for sharing your mom's receipe

[@garlicgirl3149]

Love watching your mom cook☺️☺️☺️

[@gulamhussain3942]

Auntyji is so sweet!

[@Josheatsbooks]

You ladies are absolutely wonderful. Thank you for such delicious videos!!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks Joshua

[@alaahasan1671]

Bless you both

[@FoodwithChetna]

awww thanks

[@sainathyadav1890]

Perfect briyani ... Thanks mommy .. 😊

[@yahiamehadji2133]

Hello from Paris. Merci pour vos recettes indiennes.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hello Yahia!

[@vinaparekh4761]

So nice to cook with mum

[@masalachic2461]

This recipe looks so yum, another delish variation. In South Africa we always use "briyani dhall" in our briyanis... must be a South African thing. Going to definitely try your Mum's version, it's looks like heaven on a plate. 😍

[@sheepa1109]

Just talking with my husband today about finding a good biryani recipe! I feel like the internet can hear me sometimes. Thank you Ms Chetna! The best bit of your moms recipe is the last bit where you recook it all in a hot water bath! Huh?! I had to do a double take! Now it all makes sense! That’s why the biriyani flavor is so rich and intense! Yummy Mummy! It’s 1045 pm in Chattanooga, Tennessee and I can’t sleep because my stomach wants your mum’s biriyani! Down Girl, Down.

[@shonujohnson9040]

I have been struggling to cook a tasty biryani for a long time. This recipe was simple and turned out to be the best I have made so far 😁

[@FoodwithChetna]

That is great news, thanks for letting me know.

[@allenmichael7286]

Hi Chetna, I am from Jabalpur and if I am not mistaken we met around 23-25 years ago through a common friend Manish Kumar (if I have not got your identity mixed up). Lovely to see your culinary expertise and would definitely try to replicate your mum's version of biryani, which looks absolutely yummy. Stay safe with your family and keep up the excellent work you are doing. God Bless. (Perhaps if you do have relatives in town and drop in anytime in the future, my wife and I would be delighted to meet you)

[@FoodwithChetna]

Where did I meet you, in Jabalpur?

[@allenmichael7286]

At Manish's medical store in Gorakhpur. It is aeons ago so I understand you would not possibly remember.

[@manjulaniit8257]

Hey love the way you layer your biryani n having to put water at the bottom awesome looking forward checking your other recipes. Manjula-tonga/sweden

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hi Manjula, hope you will give the recipe a go!

[@amusicated]

Mom is adorable

[@FoodwithChetna]

She is amazing

[@jasonschalter3135]

Love mom! So happy

[@iikingsoulvii1447]

My Indian & Pakistani neighbours & friends' mums have made me the best food I've ever tasted. I've never found a takeaway that comes within a million miles of it, videos like this are absolute gold.

[@FoodwithChetna]

That is so good to know, glad you are finding my recipes helpful!

[@amypond968]

[@FoodwithChetna]

I love chicken biryani and had to share my mums recipe!

[@nyxdoc2801]

Your mom is awesome.....nothing like mom's cooking. She is so cute .....

[@FoodwithChetna]

Awww thank you!

[@interestingyoutubechannel1]

Wow, looks really good! It's soooo similar to Persian rice.. I guess maybe from the cultural exchange in India's history etc?

[@melodyofailingheart9400]

interestingyoutubechannel exactly, this dish was brought by mughals

[@interestingyoutubechannel1]

+melodyofailingheart Aaah, I thought it might have something to do with that. I'd love to see India some day :)

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes so amazing to see influences of various cultures on food every where!

[@yousufazad6914]

your mom is so sweet!

[@FoodwithChetna]

She is!

[@yamaharadio]

Hello! Thanks for the work but I don’t understand the final cooking part in the big pan can you help please? Beautiful beings you and your mum!

[@FoodwithChetna]

The final bit is the layering of chicken and rice in a pan and then cooked over another layer so that the rice does not burn and also it cooks the dish very very slowly which all adds to the flavour.

[@yamaharadio]

Thanks but I meant the water bit? You put the pan in water? Many thanks! Blessings!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes it is the same reason, cooking in ban marie style so cooks evening and slowly

[@parushag4528]

I made this and it was loved by all esp my mum ! thank you :)

[@chinnappam9153]

Nice. Makes me hungry. 👍👍👍

[@doityourselfpakistan6535]

this biryani looks so good !

[@FoodwithChetna]

And tastes even better

[@kavya851]

This tasted fabulous. Thank you for the recipe chetna!

[@FoodwithChetna]

You are very welcome, thanks for trying and letting me know.

[@Shokupan982]

Thanks for sharing your mom's culinary wisdom!

[@FoodwithChetna]

You are very welcome!

[@Martin-ot7xj]

Thank You for your video. Say thanks to your mom to help you and she had been teaching us

[@anindo73]

I have a very similar recipe! I'm surprised your mom doesnt use any chili powder or turmeric in the marinade!

[@shireenhendricks2194]

Delicious

[@NatkaiAwPakhlanzai]

Perfect 👍❤️❤️❤️

[@rachelbrown5892]

Love to see you and your mom cooking together! Can't wait to try her recipe! :-)

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you will enjoy this, let me know how it goes.

[@lexsite]

Caramalized onion is the magic ingredient

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes definitely magic ingredient!

[@promeetnag]

I don't know if you are still responding to this video but I have a question: What is the reason that you put the pressure cooker (or whatever pot I choose to use) in a "water bath"?

[@FoodwithChetna]

so its not direct on the heat and cooks slowly and doesnt burn the bottom,

[@aishaa4519]

Fantastic recipe , but I wish the ingredients were written in the description bar .

[@FoodwithChetna]

You can just write them down yourself

[@dawnriley3283]

Looks really delicious. Can we see your biryani recipe Chetna?

[@FoodwithChetna]

Well, once you all have made this one I will share my recipe too!

[@ayantalpur7260]

Amazing

[@shalinipeacock6833]

How many tpsp is 150gm yoghurt, please?

[@carolinalipski81]

Delicious!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks

[@bcnzpb]

Your Mum is THE BOMB

[@FoodwithChetna]

She sure is!

[@rajpatel5846]

Do you have a playlist of videos in which you cook with your maa?

[@tauresattauresa7137]

What did you mum put in after the bay leaves, were they cloves?
