Easy Chicken Biryani for Beginners / How to make Chicken Biryani in Pressure Cooker

In this video we will see how to make Chicken Biryani in Pressure cooker , this is an easy chicken biryani for beginners and is guaranteed method to make delicious biryani. I am a big fan of Dindigul Thalapakatti Chicken Biryani and always wanted to make a biryani with such amazing taste. The biryani masala used in the recipe is from the Chettiand Cuisine giving this the taste of authentic Chettinad Chicken Biryani.
The first step in making this Chicken biryani at home is to make the aromatic biryani masala. First saute the oinions and tomatoes with the prepared masala and then the chicken pieces are added and cooked till about the meat is cooked to about 50%. Then pre-soaked basmati rice is added and cooked for 1 whistle in the pressure cooker. Since both the chicken and rice are cooked together in the pressure cooker, the rice will absorb a lot of flavor from the chicken pieces and will taste simply wonderful.
Also since the chicken is going to be cooked on the open pot method, It gives more control and information about cooking the chicken pieces properly. Also the mixture can be taste tested and adjusted all along. Soaked Basmati Rice cooks very fast in pressure cooker so stop the cooking process at 1 whistle.
