Kolkata Style Chicken Biryani | Awadhi style Murgh Dum Biryani

Awadhi style based special Kolkata Murgh Biryani- a feast for the eyes, senses and fit for a king. Can now be made @ home without sacrificing on the shahi-yana or the royal touch. Aromatic biryani basmati rice along with tender chicken pieces, soft and succulent alu or potatoes and a boiled egg complete the palette. Ingredients like rice, chicken and potatoes are semi-cooked separately using shahi masalas- delicate and fragrant. The final assembly consists of the layering process and then put on dum or steamed till it is cooked to perfection. This represents Hungry Tummy's best in home-made Biryani- better than most restaurants. A must-try @ home during this festive ocassion. Happy cooking!
