Recipe of  Hyderabadi Biryani

Hyderabadi biryani cooking is a very easy process if you follow our process. Since there is no need to saute the meat or spices, this is the simplest biryani. Just combine the spices and other elements with the meat to marinate. Approximately cooked basmati rice should be layered on top. Cook slowly, capturing the steam to maintain the aroma.

1. Three cups of yogurt, up to half a teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon each of red chili powder, and biryani masala add to a mixing bowl. Next, add 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric, two green chilies that have been split, and one tablespoon of ginger garlic paste. Mixing a half-teaspoon of cardamom powder is the last step. 
2. Lemon juice, one tablespoon, is added. Leave the lemon juice if your curd is even a bit sour. For Hyderabadi biryani, season a basin with yogurt and spices.
3. Combine everything, then taste the marinade. Salt the food as necessary. I had to add one more half teaspoon.
4. Add the chicken and marinate the marinade for the fourth version of Hyderabadi biryani. The bowl should  cover and left in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight.
5. After the biryani is cooked, keeping the chicken overnight makes it very soft and succulent. I advise slicing the meat into small to medium-sized pieces if you marinate it for only two hours.
