# How to Make Dum Biryani
|
||||
|
||||
> Dum Biryani (दम बिरयानी) — Indian Spiced Rice Pilaf
|
||||
|
||||
Dum Biryani is India's most famous rice dish and a royal delicacy passed down from the Mughal Empire era. "Dum" means "slow-cooking with steam." Marinated meat and half-cooked Basmati rice are layered in a pot, which is then sealed and slow-cooked to allow the essence of the spices to fully penetrate. This is an extremely aromatic, multi-layered main dish. Preparation takes about 90 minutes (including 1 hour for marinating the meat).

## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### Marinating the Chicken (1 hour in advance)
|
||||
|
||||
- In a large bowl, mix yogurt, grated ginger and garlic, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, and lemon juice.
|
||||
- Add the chicken chunks and coat them evenly with the marinade.
|
||||
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for **at least 1 hour** (overnight is best).
|
||||
|
||||
### Preparing Saffron Milk and Frying Onions
|
||||
|
||||
- Soak 0.5g of saffron in 30ml of warm milk for **15 minutes**, and set aside.
|
||||
- Pour 50ml of cooking oil into a pan and heat over medium heat.
|
||||
- Add thin slices of onion and stir-fry until *deep golden brown and crispy* (about 12-15 minutes; patience is required).
|
||||
- Remove the fried onions, drain excess oil with paper towels, and set aside.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cooking Par-boiled Rice
|
||||
|
||||
- Drain the soaked Basmati rice.
|
||||
- Bring 2000ml of water to a boil in a large pot.
|
||||
- Add bay leaves, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and 10g of salt.
|
||||
- Add the rice and boil over high heat for **5-6 minutes**, until the rice is *about 70% cooked* (soft on the outside but still firm in the center).
|
||||
- Drain immediately, discard the whole spices, and set aside.
|
||||
|
||||
### Assembly and Dum Cooking
|
||||
|
||||
- Grease the bottom of a heavy-bottomed pot with 15g of ghee.
|
||||
- Layer 1: Spread the marinated chicken evenly on the bottom of the pot.
|
||||
- Layer 2: Add half of the par-boiled rice.
|
||||
- Sprinkle half of the fried onions, mint leaves, cilantro leaves, and green chilies.
|
||||
- Layer 3: Add the remaining rice.
|
||||
- Sprinkle the remaining fried onions, mint leaves, and cilantro leaves.
|
||||
- Evenly drizzle the saffron milk over the top layer of rice.
|
||||
- Place the remaining 15g of ghee (cut into small pieces and scattered) on top.
|
||||
- **Seal the lid**: Seal the gaps around the pot's rim using a dough made from flour and water (traditional method), or wrap the pot's rim with aluminum foil before placing the lid.
|
||||
- Heat over high heat for **3 minutes** until steam begins to escape.
|
||||
- Then reduce to the lowest heat and **cook on dum for 25-30 minutes**.
|
||||
- After turning off the heat, **do not open the lid** and let it rest for another **5 minutes**.
|
||||
- Open the lid, gently fold the layers together from the bottom using a large spatula to mix evenly.
|
||||
- Serve with Raita.
|
||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Basmati rice is essential for making Biryani; regular rice cannot replicate its unique long-grain aroma. It is available on major Chinese e-commerce platforms.
|
||||
- Sealed dum cooking is the essence of this dish. Steam must not escape, or the rice will dry out.
|
||||
- The rice should only be cooked to 70% doneness, as it will continue to absorb moisture and cook further during the dum process. Overcooking will result in mushy rice in the final dish.
|
||||
- There are two major schools of Indian Biryani: Hyderabadi style uses raw meat at the bottom for dum cooking, while Lucknowi style pre-cooks the meat before assembling with rice. This recipe uses the most common hybrid method.
|
||||
- This dish is a staple at weddings and festivals in India and is known as the "national dish of India."
