About Chicken 65 Biryani Recipe
Making chicken 65 biryani can be little different from the other biryani because since we are frying the chicken separately instead of cooking it with the rice. The rice may not have the same flavour. So i created this recipe. I added half the chicken in the rice and other half i fried and used as garnish. The rice was so flavourful because of the chicken which we added.
Biryani is a mixed rice dish popular among Indian subcontinent Muslims. It is made with Indian spices, rice, and usually some type of meat or, in some cases, no meat, as well as eggs and potatoes. Chicken 65 is a spicy, deep-fried chicken dish served as an entrée or quick snack at Hotel Buhari in Chennai, India. The dish flavour can
be attributed to red chilies, but the exact ingredients for the recipe can vary.

Ingredients for Chicken 65 Biryani Recipe
Basmati Rice
Basmati rice is a long, slender-grained aromatic rice that has traditionally been grown in India, Nepal, and Pakistan. White basmati rice contains more calories and carbohydrates than regular white rice. It also contains slightly more protein, but the difference is insignificant. Furthermore, both types of grains are highly processed
and, due to their low fibre content, may cause blood sugar spikes.
Chicken
Biryani-cut chicken is a sumptuous blend of large chunky pieces from half a chicken. It comes with one leg and one bone-in meaty breast, as well as a mix of white and dark meat, soft and tougher meat, all packaged together for the perfect biryani.
Garam Masala Powder
The whole spices in the Garam Masala blend have already been toasted before being ground. As a result, it is not necessary to cook it. If the garam masala is added too soon, it will become overcooked and lose its flavour. Garam masala aromatics require only a small amount of heat to release their aroma and flavours.
