Ma's chicken biryani recipe

Chicken second courses Indian cuisine

I live over 15 thousand miles away from my home in India..it's my ma's cooking I miss the most and she knows that. That's why every time I go back home, the aroma of this particular dish is what greets me! This recipe has been in my family ever since I can remember chewing on solid food. Although, to my dad and brother, this recipe loses to other richer, red meat based, cream infused treats my mother makes, but for me - this is what reminds me of her. The flavor to this dish comes from its caramelized onions. They are the star of this biryani, and a must. Supporting cast includes clarified butter and black pepper..Hope you enjoy!
