Fried Chicken Biryani (Filipino-Style)
Prep: 1 hr
Cook: 49 mins
Biryani is a rice dish from the Indian subcontinent and is very popular
here in Kuwait since most of the Arab dishes originated from India.
Most of the Filipinos here in Kuwait like to eat biryani but they hate
the spices like cardamom, cinnamon, sa ron, etc. that it is flavored
with. I am one of those who doesn't like these spices so I made this
dish in my own way with the spices that we Filipinos prefer.

Directions
3 cups basmati rice
Step 1
Place rice in a large bowl and cover with water. Let soak for 20
minutes; drain.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 cup vegetable oil
2 potatoes, cubed
1 large carrot, cubed
1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 onions, minced
2 ripe tomatoes, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons crushed fresh
ginger root
2 tablespoons green curry paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 cube chicken bouillon
(Optional)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon oil and 1
teaspoon salt. Add rice; simmer until partially cooked through and
still firm, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain.
Step 3
Heat 1 cup oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add potatoes
and carrot; saute until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a
plate. Add chicken pieces; fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes
per side.

Stir minced onions, tomatoes, tomato paste, ginger, curry paste,
soy sauce, garlic, turmeric, chicken bouillon, remaining 1
teaspoon salt, and black pepper into the pot. Cover and simmer
until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Stir in lime juice. Add
potatoes and carrot. Cook and stir, about 1 minute. Remove from
heat.
Step 5
Place 1/3 of the rice in the bottom of another large pan. Cover
with 1/2 of the chicken mixture. Continue layering remaining rice
and chicken mixture. Cover and cook over very low heat until rice
is tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer rice to a large serving plate.
