Chicken Tikka Biryani

Chicken Tikka Biryani is little different from the regular biryani’s we have; this can be tried when we are bored of having regular biryani.

The difference in preparing chicken tikka biryani recipe is that we first need to prepare chicken tikkas and then cook them along with biryani masala ingredients. If we marinate the chicken with chicken tikka masala on the previous day and keep in the refrigerator the next day we can directly put them on the pan and make chicken tikkas. This can save some time when we make chicken tikka biryani at home.

To save some time you can simultaneously cook rice. For this biryani recipe, I didn’t follow the conventional way of half cooking rice and straining out the water. I cooked rice in the electric rice cooker instead. But turned off the cooker when the rice were 90 percent cooked and still has some moisture. Then added to the chicken tikka marinate. Here again, it saves some more time. The step-by-step instructions on how to make chicken tikka biryani at home is given in the video.

I hope you definitely try this mouth-watering recipe. And please don’t forget to share, like or leave a comment when you try. Give a Smokey flavour to the chicken tikkas which will add a different aroma to chicken tikka biryani.
