Biriyani with Kebabs and Grilled Meats

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups basmati rice
• 1 lb chicken thighs
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium tomato
• ½ medium cucumber
• 1 medium lemon
• 2 tsp garam masala

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the 1.5 cups basmati rice until water runs clear, then soak in cold water for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the 1 lb chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and season with 1 tsp garam masala and salt.

2. 2

   Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Grill the chicken pieces until charred and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side. Set aside.

3. 3

   While chicken cooks, slice the 1 medium onion and 1 medium tomato. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup yogurt with 1 tsp garam masala and a pinch of salt to make the sauce.

4. 4

   Drain the rice and cook in 3 cups boiling salted water until tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain any excess water.

5. 5

   To serve, spread the rice on a platter, top with grilled chicken, sliced onion, tomato, and 0.5 cucumber. Drizzle with the yogurt sauce and squeeze the 1 lemon wedge over everything.

   Serve hot with extra lemon wedges and the yogurt sauce on the side.
