Procedure:


  • Thalapakatti briyani is prepared only with Seeraga samba rice. Boil 3 cups of water in  a sauce pan. When the water boils, add washed seeraga samba rice. When the water boils again, reduce the flame and switch it off in another 8 minutes. By this way, rice would have cooked only 3/4 th.. When you take out the rice it should be mashable with hands but it should be little chewy when you eat.. Drain the excess water and let the rice cool..
  • Peel small onions and crush it using a mixer-grinder. Peel garlic pods and crush it also separately. Grind everything under 'To Grind'.
  • Heat oil +ghee in a heavy bottomed pan. Add ground masala directly to it.
  • Saute for 2 minutes and then add crushed garlic  and crushed small onion.
  • Saute for some time so that raw flavor goes off and after that add washed chicken.
  • Add enough salt, turmeric powder and Chili powder to it. Cover the pan with a lid and cook in medium flame. You can see water oozing out of chicken. Let the chicken cook in its own water. 
  • After the chicken has been cooked completely add yogurt and lemon juice. Mix everything well. Now gravy for briyani is ready.
  • Take a baking pan. Grease it. Place half of the rice. Then Gravy.. and throw some coriander and mint leaves.
  • And then add rest of the rice, gravy and again Coriander, mint leaves.
  • Cover the pan. I used baking sheet for it.
  • Pre heat the oven to 180 degree Celsius. Bake it for 15 minutes. Let briyani sit in the switched off oven for 10 more minutes.
  • Mix everything well and enjoy your Briyani with raita.Adjust the spice according to your taste.
  • If you don't have oven, simply heat a dosai pan. Place rice,gravy,coriander leaves in layers in a Pan and place it over the dosai pan.. By this, Dum briyani can be done on stove top.
