Chicken Potli Biryani Recipe

Chicken Potli Biryani is a one pot dish and is usually served with raita and salad. I have prepared chicken biryani earlier but this one is quite different from the previous ones.

In this potli biryani, green chilli is used instead of red chilli powder and chicken is pressure cooked along with some spices so that the flavours of spices gets in the water and the rice is cooked in that boiled water which gives yummy flavours to the rice.

You can also make mutton biryani like this, you have to replace the chicken with mutton and pressure cook for few more minutes.

In my house, everyone loves biryani like I do. Follow my easy recipe with step by step pictures.
