Biryani Inspired Chicken Mazegohan

I always wanted to cook Biryani, but I was discouraged every time I read recipes and methods. There is a long list of ingredients and it’s not easy to prepare. So, I decided to cook a similar rice dish using similar ingredients, but in the Japanese way using my rice cooker. It’s a ‘Mazegohan’. Rice and other ingredients are cooked separately, then combined after everything is cooked. This dish is delicious and easy to cook if you have a rice cooker.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Cut Chicken Fillets into chunky bite-size pieces. Place in a bowl, add Curry Powder, Garam Masala and Yoghurt, mix to combine, and set aside for 30 minutes OR while you are preparing other ingredients.

* Step 2

Chop up Garlic and Ginger finely, thinly slice Onion, cut Tomato into small pieces.

* Step 3

Rinse Basmati Rice, place in the rice cooker’s inner pot, add water up to the 2-cups marking, sprinkle with Salt, add Bay Leaf and 1 pinch Saffron, and press ‘COOK’ button to start cooking. *Note: If your rice cooker has ‘Quick Cook’ setting, please use it so that the Rice will be cooked firmly.

* Step 4

Place Oil, Garlic, Ginger, Cumin Seeds and Bay Leaf in a frying pan, heat over medium heat. When aromatic, add Onion and stir. When Onion is transparent, add Tomato.

* Step 5

When Tomato is soft, add Chicken mixture and stir, cover with a lid, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, occasionally stirring. When Chicken is cooked, remove the lid and cook until the sauce thickens.

* Step 6

When the Rice is cooked, pour the Chicken mixture over the cooked Rice, close the lid, and leave it for 10 minutes in the Rice cooker’s remaining heat.

* Step 7

Roughly mix, sprinkle with some Coriander, Parsley OR Spring Onion, etc. Serve with a refreshing salad. ‘Cucumber & Tomato Yoghurt Salad with Cumin’ goes very well with this dish. *Note: Fried Onion can be a good topping.
