Discover the Royal Flavor of Chicken Biryani | Delhi Indian Cuisine, Las Vegas

Few dishes capture the essence of Indian cuisine like Chicken Biryani—a rich, flavorful, and aromatic dish that speaks to the soul. At Delhi Indian Cuisine in Las Vegas, we serve a gluten-free Chicken Biryani that’s crafted with fragrant basmati rice, marinated chicken thighs, and a perfectly balanced blend of biryani masala, served with cooling raita.

What is Chicken Biryani?

Chicken Biryani is a layered rice dish made with spiced chicken and basmati rice, slow-cooked together to absorb every ounce of flavor. Our version is completely gluten-free and features boneless thigh chicken, known for its juiciness and tenderness, all infused with traditional Indian herbs and spices.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

For Chicken Marinade:

  • Boneless chicken thighs – 500g (cut into chunks)
  • Yogurt – ½ cup
  • Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tablespoon
  • Red chili powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Turmeric – ½ teaspoon
  • Biryani masala – 1 tablespoon
  • Salt – to taste
  • Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon

For Biryani Rice:

  • Basmati rice – 2 cups (soaked for 30 minutes)
  • Bay leaves – 2
  • Cinnamon stick – 1
  • Green cardamom – 3
  • Cloves – 3
  • Salt – to taste

For Layering & Cooking:

  • Fried onions – 1 cup
  • Saffron – few strands soaked in 2 tbsp warm milk
  • Fresh coriander & mint leaves – handful, chopped
  • Ghee or oil – 3 tablespoons
  • Water – as required

Step-by-Step Chicken Biryani Recipe:

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

Mix yogurt, lemon juice, spices, and ginger-garlic paste. Add chicken, coat well, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 2: Cook the Rice

Boil water with whole spices and salt. Add soaked basmati rice and cook until 70% done (grains should be firm). Drain and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Heat ghee or oil in a heavy pan. Add marinated chicken and cook until partially done (it will finish cooking with the rice).

Step 4: Layer the Biryani

In a deep pot, layer half the cooked chicken, followed by half the rice. Add fried onions, mint, coriander, and saffron milk. Repeat the layers.

Step 5: Dum Cooking

Cover the pot with a tight lid or seal with dough. Cook on low flame for 20–25 minutes to allow flavors to meld (known as dum cooking).

Step 6: Serve

Let the biryani rest for 10 minutes before serving. Gently mix and serve hot with cool raita or cucumber salad.
