Chicken Tikka masala And Goat Biryani..

Sure, I’d be happy to provide you with the recipes for Indian chicken tikka masala and goat biryani. Both of these dishes are popular in Indian cuisine and are known for their rich and aromatic flavors.

Indian Chicken Tikka Masala Recipe:

Ingredients for Chicken Tikka:

1.5 lbs (700g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup plain yogurt
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Salt to taste
2 tbsp vegetable oil

Ingredients for Masala Sauce:

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 cup heavy cream
Salt to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, cayenne pepper, and salt. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and coat them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Alternatively, you can cook the chicken in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, turning once.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Add the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the heavy cream and season the sauce with salt to taste. Add the grilled chicken tikka pieces to the sauce, stirring gently to coat them with the masala sauce. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve the chicken tikka masala hot with steamed rice or naan bread.

GOAT BIRYANI RECIPE

recipe for making goat biryani:

Ingredients:
– 2 cups basmati rice
– 1 kg goat meat, cut into pieces
– 1 cup plain yogurt
– 2 onions, thinly sliced
– 4 tomatoes, finely chopped
– 4-5 green chilies, slit
– 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
– Whole spices (cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, bay leaves)
– 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1 teaspoon red chili powder
– 1 teaspoon biryani masala
– 1/2 cup chopped cilantro (coriander) leaves
– 1/2 cup chopped mint leaves
– 4 cups water
– 1/4 cup ghee or oil
– Salt to taste

For the marinade:
– 1 cup plain yogurt
– 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
– 1 teaspoon red chili powder
– 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1 teaspoon garam masala

Instructions:
1. Wash the basmati rice thoroughly and soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, mix the goat meat with the marinade ingredients – yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Marinate for at least 1 hour.

3. In a large pot, heat the ghee or oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

4. Add the whole spices and sauté for a minute until aromatic. Then, add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Sauté for a couple of minutes.

5. Add the marinated goat meat and cook until it is browned and the moisture evaporates.

6. Add the chopped tomatoes, biryani masala, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the oil separates.

7. Add the chopped cilantro and mint leaves, then spread the marinated goat meat evenly in the pot.

8. In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the soaked and drained rice to the boiling water. Cook until the rice is 70% cooked. Drain the rice and layer it over the goat meat in the pot.

9. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes, allowing the biryani to steam. You can also place a tava (griddle) under the pot to diffuse the heat and prevent burning.

10. Once the biryani is done, gently fluff the rice with a fork, and serve hot with raita (yogurt-based dip) and salad.

Enjoy your delicious goat biryani and chicken tikka masala!
