The Rice:
- Soak the rice for 15 to 20 min. In a medium deep pot boil the water and add Knorr Chicken Stock Cubes and all the whole spice. Now cook the rice partially and drain.
The Masala:
- Set the oven to 180°C. Slice the mushroom thick & mix well with oil, black pepper and set to roast for 25-30 min.
- In a medium thick pot cook the onions until golden brown, add ginger, garlic, turmeric, all-purpose curry paste, fresh chili and cooking for a minute.
- Deglaze the pan with water and allow to simmer for3 minute.
- In the same pot put roasted mushroom & mix well. Finally layer the rice with mushroom masala or mix all together.
Stuffing the Chicken:
- Only debone the chicken’s ribcage area with a scissors, this will allow more flavours of the biryani to penetrate the chicken meat.
- Gently stuff the chickens with the mushroom biryani and truss the chicken or simply tie the legs with string so that the stuffing doesn’t fall out.
- Roast chickens in the oven at 170°C for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
