My absolute favourite dish to cook, eat and share - KACCHI CHICKEN BIRYANI

[@FlavoursByHamza]

Brilliant. I had it in UAE and I loved it. Just a quick tip if it helps, peel the onion and soak it for a few mins in cold water and you would have tear free onions 😁 Also, if you put a damp cloth under your cutting board, it would stick to the surface and won't slip. Keep the recipes coming. Love from 🇵🇰

[@thepotatobich]

I’ve grown up in the Middle East, and we’ve always made our biriyanis like this! Well, a version of it anyway ❤ everyone NEEDS to try this out. The flavor is just 😍🤌🏼🤌🏼

[@FoodwithChetna]

thats so interesting.....

[@noellenn2122]

This is similar to how I used to make my biryani except with not as many different spices. (I sometimes would add cubed potatoes as well). Biryani is one of my favourite food of all time so definitely will be trying this version very soon!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you enjoy

[@treasuremuch9185]

Haven't yet finished watching to video end. Just have to stop to say, I want to be there when the Biryani is ready to be served! One of my favorites. Thanks, Chetna, and to your friend for sharing this.

[@FoodwithChetna]

So nice of you, thanks!

[@juliehillebrand8923]

I can't wait to make this. Biryani is a staple in our household, and it really has been too long since I've made one. Thank you for this lovely recipe!

[@FoodwithChetna]

My pleasure 😊

[@leilaally8640]

Brilliant, I made this using your recipe, absolutely delicious, thank you!❤

[@kasturipillay6626]

Hi I would say, what you made is actually a chicken palau. A biryani will contain masoor dhall . But very well.presented. Thank you ma'am☺

[@The.Unscripted.Life.x]

Chetna, everything of yours that I have made has been a family favourite. I can’t wait to make this… my mouth is watering already! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these videos for us to make this recipe at home! ❤

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much 😃

[@shalinicross4438]

I made this last weekend (HAD to buy your book) and it was SUPERB and my boy love love loved it soooooooooooooooo much, I took the leftovers to work everyday this week and everyone was so jealous.................

[@chandythomas131]

So lovely.. you make me want to cook more... this one especially looks yummy and doesn't seem too much effort. Thank you Chetna.

[@shawnaleewhitney6630]

It is always so fun to watch you cook. Chetna. Your joy in the process in infectious and inspiring!

[@IvanIV05]

I don't usually make biryani, but I like the idea of frying the onions in so much oil and having an onion oil as a "byproduct". I'll do that next time I need fried onions.

[@FoodwithChetna]

😂😂love it and its worth it

[@rp3099]

Omg this a totally new take and I’m making this tomorrow. Looks soooooo good. Thx for sharing 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@colettebelier9970]

I will try this next Sunday. It seems easier than the usual chicken biryani.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you enjoy

[@colettebelier9970]

It’s in the oven right now. I did not drain the rice. I cook it always with very little amount of water. It was not soft, biteable when I put it together with the ckicken. And I added more Kewra water. We will see.

[@colettebelier9970]

It was delicious. And I ate it with salad and Orange Chutney. Very good!👍🏻

[@monamoller5280]

We made this for 2 people and it was absolutely delicious. It will be our next big family meal.

Looks delicious! Chetna, where in the UK can one buy a pot similar to the one you cooked this biryani in?

[@FoodwithChetna]

left the link in the description.....

[@monicasanta-teresa4592]

I made this today. Smell is divine but a touch sweet and needs salt. Maybe I put too much sugar and left out the Kewra water and mint leaves since I didn’t have these. Also used chicken thighs. I will make it again as instructed. Delicious and tender. First biryani recipe in which chicken came out so tender. I think marinating overnight, which I did, is a must.

[@linarao265]

Looks amazing! I am shopping for the chicken today !

[@FoodwithChetna]

yeah

[@nram1]

Thanks for the ingredients. The restaurant I buy this from sometimes, they use a lot of spices.

[@FoodwithChetna]

hope you will try at home

[@templeviewgate]

When i was in college no tutor, no internet, not even referred a cook book but simply first time i tried my skill of analytical cooking method just having tasted biryani so manytimes....I almost got 90 percent perfect biryani ....well now am above 50 and still i make biryani usually now once a week. Now am expert in two specialities one normal which is popular oily rice and another juicy type using tomatoes, my friends love both of the types and it is ritual that in our gathering the kitchen is buzzing place till we settle down on table with a pot of biryani and assortments. Mostly i prefer lamb chops and it surely makes perfect biryani than chicken.

[@FoodwithChetna]

That sounds wonderful, lucky friends!

[@snowbabe73]

Oh wow Chetna, this looks amazing. I’m going to have to make this ❤ Also I love your dress, please could you say where did you get it from? ❤

Hi Chetna. Lovely to virtually see you. I love your recipe. I am a multi tasker, home, job and a fur baby 🐶 so when I crave biryani, I whip up a quick kacchi biryani. I am curious, have you contemplated investing in a good brand of electric chopper? Will make chopping/slicing onion a breeze 😊. BTW opening the foil, the steam and the music was just 👌🏼.

[@FoodwithChetna]

thanks so much, I complain but do love chopping 😂

[@sarnaseven19]

That is a perfect looking biryani! I wonder if it's supposed to be spicy? Or it should be mild, and not too hot biryani? I enjoy eating biryani that's not hot so I can taste all the wonderful spices in there. Definitely adding this to my biryani repertoire! 😍

very good indeed

[@stephenb5016]

I love your receipes and I understand that you are selling books BUT can you please list ingredients here in the description? Sometimes, the effort puts me off, rewinding the video, writing it down, rewinding, checking I got it right. It would make shopping and making these dishes MUCH easier. (side note: I have purchased two of your other books and given this particular one as a gift) :)

[@FoodwithChetna]

I think you are slightly mistaken, I have around 1K recipe videos on my channel and ONLY 10% of them are from my books, the rest are all just recipes I made for YT. I am a 1 person team here doing everything so no I dont have time to type up the recipes in descriptions. This is all FREE CONTENT AND free amazing recipes and ALL you guys have to do is write them down yourself. I am 100% sure this is not too much to ask 🙏🏽

Dry roast spices and curry powders... Deep fry, onions, garlic, ginger,.. Save the oil to enhance ur recipes or used for cooking Grind those fried ingredients as paste.. used it for cooking ur recipes...or chutney.. Yummy... Tip: salt, lemon juice, Fresh coriander leaves Lastly... slightly cool...cover the lid...

[@FoodwithChetna]

[@kaybrown4010]

What a symphony of flavors! 😋

[@GAKKIN]

In a true Hyderabadi kachhi biryani, there is no cooking of meat separately. Absolutely not. That’s why it is called kachhi - raw. What this recipe shows is ‘pakki’ (cooked) biryani. Not authentic. Anyone can use all the right ingredients but the process is what makes Hyderabadi biryani so popular worldwide. Also, it’s typically done with goat meat.

[@jrdewaalm01]

I noticed that you didn’t crush the cardamom pods before adding them to the boiling water. Is it because the recipe says so or is because you just always leave them whole?

[@FoodwithChetna]

I do leave them whole mostly

No not used hot oil, you can cool it down and use it......

Rice cooks in 12 minutes. 20% would be approximately 3 minutes.

[@shaikvali4138]

Lemon and curd u can't use that . U can use that ingredients very tasty

[@FoodwithChetna]

its delicious with lemon and curd

[@MathaGoram]

The basic steps are fine, but you need to soak the rice in water for 30+ minutes before boiling. That step enables the rice to "elongate" during cooking, which is the tell-tale sign of experience. Also, no issue with the range of spices used, but I trust that you understand that the range could be larger (which would make it difficult for most viewers to emulate). Thanks for your efforts.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Actually thats NOT A MUST! I have been to a rice factory and soaking rice depends on how old it is, what variety and so on. No one in the world can know about everything and I dont pretend to do that. But soaking rice before cooking is NOT NECESSARY. Also you might not be aware but the spice choices in biryani or any other dishes differs from region to region...... 🙏🏽

[@MathaGoram]

@@FoodwithChetna I didn't imply MUST. Results speak for themselves. The practice varies by region and cuisine. I had assumed that "aged" Basmati was under consideration. Ask yourself: "Kacchi" is not not native to BD. So how did the knowledge transfer occur?

[@khansensei666]

It's the most popular dish in Bangladesh. It's called Kacchi Biriyani but it has to be with Mutton. Kacchi cannot be cooked with chicken in Bangladesh

[@FoodwithChetna]

then you are over cooking it? or not enough liquid....

Chicken must be 1kg or so, and for that Rice 350g, or can we use more rice, say 450g maybe?

Hi Chetna ma'am,good to see you again as vibrant as always.i want to share a small suggestion that I use. chop onions using goggles, which we use in swimming 🏊‍♂️ pools.you can loosen a little bit if you feel tight on your eyes while wearing.hope no one will make fun of this suggestion.thank you.god bless you.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks for the tip

[@chloedsmith]

No biryani experience is complete without chowing down on a whole cardamom pod lmao, it's *theoretically possible* that you can take them out of the pot or take them out of your plate, but there's ALWAYS one left behind ahahaha

[@FoodwithChetna]

so true

[@fundozzayon]

The rice is wrong. For original Kacci biriyani, you need "Kalijira" or "Chinigura" rice. Without these kinds of rice, the authentic aroma and flavor of this specific biriyani will not flourish. Also, kacci is always best with "Mutton" rather than chicken or beef.
