    About Pressure Cooker Chicken Biryani

    Who would have thought that you could make a delicious tasting biryani in pressure cooker. Amma always make vegetable biryani in pressure cooker so do I. Thats when I started making chicken biryani in cooker.

    This biryani is one of the recipe which I have made countless times. It is a tried and tested recipe. It is so simple to make, but I found that the flavours goes so well when we make biryani like this.

    Making chicken biryani in pressure cooker is so easy than you think. Wash and soak basmati rice for at least 30 minutes for fluffier biryani rice. You make all the base masala in a pressure cooker.

    Depending on the amount of rice choose your pressure cooker size. I used a 6 litre pressure cooker for making this amount of chicken biryani. Choose wider pressure cooker like a pressure pan for making biryani which helps getting fluffier rice. If you use a narrow smaller cooker, then there are chances of the biryani rice getting mushy.

    Pressure Cooker Chicken Biryani Ingredients

    ingredients to make Pressure Cooker Chicken Biryani

    Basmati Rice - I made this recipe using the finest quality basmati rice. You have to wash rice in several changes of water & Soak them for 30 minutes to make them fluffier. You can use seera samba rice instead of basmati. If you are using seera samba rice the water quantity will be 1 cup seera samba rice and 2 cups water.

    Chicken - I prefer to use skinless chicken for chicken biryani. Bone-in curry cut chicken is used for maximum flavour.

    Whole Spices - cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, fennel, cumin and bay leaf are some of the common spices.

    Ginger & Garlic - the most important duo of flavours in any biryani. Use fresh ginger and garlic and grind them into a paste.

    Fresh Herbs - coriander and mint leaves adds the aroma to the biryani.

    Spices to Use - I use a combo of chilli, turmeric, cumin, coriander and my homemade garam masala powder.

    Oil or Ghee - use a combo of oil and ghee to make biryani.

    Garnishing - fried nuts like cashews, raisins, coriander leaves, fried onions is added for garnishing.

      Whenever I cook chicken as mentioned in various recipes, it turns rubbery or overcooked. I'm afraid, the same thing will happen here. How to avoid chicken becoming rubbery? Thanks.

        after adding chicken cover it and pressure cook for 1 whistle. then add rice, this way the chicken wont be rubbery.

      Thank you for posting the recipe. I tried the recipe closely and the dish came out quite tasty. Unfortunately the rice was too soft and mushy. I think some factors contributing to the problems include: rice might be "new", therefore has more moisture content; soaking the rice increased the water content, so might not need to add so much water. In future, I will reduce the amount of water I use or not soak the rice. FYI, I cooked the biryani in an electronic pressure cooker for 15 minutes. I let the pressure vent naturally instead of venting the pressure cooker immediately. That might have also contributed to overcooking the rice. I will try again with the changes I have stated above. Hope it turns out better the next time.
