00:00 I'm sure many of you have experienced to taste a delicious dish that your mom's cook and you tried to make it at home.

00:09 That's what I thought after I tasted the delicious Chicken Biryani made by the mom of Kapuso Actor and Host, Andrzej Anson.

00:17 That's why I visited their house to test if my own version of Chicken Biryani is good enough for their family's specialty.

00:27 [Music]

00:29 We're basically doing one of the critical steps in making Biryani is the washing and soaking of the rice.

00:39 So we're using here aged basmati rice.

00:41 So typically, you'll wash it 2-3 times.

00:47 This is my third one actually.

00:49 And then we'll just soak this for at least 30 minutes.

00:55 And then we can start the other process.

00:57 Here, brother.

00:59 For the chicken, I'll just add lemon juice.

01:03 Then I'll add yogurt.

01:05 And then of course, salt.

01:07 We have here garam masala.

01:09 So the garam masala, just like curry, is a combination of different spices.

01:16 So it has cumin seeds, cloves, and more.

01:22 We can be generous with that amount.

01:25 So here, we'll also add chili powder.

01:29 And of course, pepper.

01:32 And then, we'll just mix it.

01:37 Give it a nice massage, brother.

01:39 While you're massaging it, I'll just get the turmeric.

01:48 Typically, you'd wanna marinate this for at least 30 minutes.

01:52 But ideally, if it's overnight, it's better.

01:55 Another technique in preparing your Biryani is parboiling it.

02:01 Meaning, you'll just semi-cook it.

02:04 More or less, we'll boil it for 2-4 minutes.

02:08 I'll just make a finish later.

02:11 We'll just steep some saffron.

02:16 We'll microwave our milk for 30 seconds.

02:20 30 seconds.

02:22 So that the milk will warm up.

02:23 Our milk is now hot.

02:32 Because we'll use it for a very special ingredient.

02:37 We call it saffron.

02:39 What a waste.

02:41 So we're taking care of it.

02:44 Because this is the most expensive spice in the world.

02:47 I think, if I'm not mistaken, this is more expensive than goat.

02:53 This is what some people call "kasuba".

02:57 But this is the real saffron.

03:00 It has a season, a time when it will be picked.

03:03 Because it's expensive, to extend its power,

03:08 we'll steep it or infuse it in our milk.

03:13 So what we need to do now,

03:16 is for the aroma, the color, most importantly,

03:21 to go to our milk.

03:23 Our rice is now ready.

03:26 Again, we won't cook it all the way.

03:30 Because we'll finish it together with the chicken.

03:38 So these are the ingredients for the flavoring of our dish.

03:42 We'll be using our cardamom.

03:44 It smells good.

03:48 It smells like biryani.

03:49 This is one of the things that you can smell right away.

03:52 And then next is our star anise.

03:56 And the "pako".

03:58 Because it looks like "pako".

04:00 It's just a martini.

04:01 And the cloves.

04:03 It also smells good.

04:05 Then after that, our cinnamon stick.

04:08 And most importantly, we're using ghee.

04:12 I'll just add in our spices.

04:18 Just to make our oil more fragrant.

04:32 And then lastly, our cumin seeds.

04:35 So cumin is the most common of all.

04:39 And then we'll fork our chicken.

04:45 Skin side down.

04:51 It smells good.

04:57 So now that the flavors are infused with our chicken, we'll remove it from the pan.

05:02 So basically, we're ready to assemble.

05:09 But I'll just chop some onions.

05:11 We'll also chop the coriander.

05:18 Because we'll add it to our biryani.

05:23 Now I realize that there are a lot of ingredients in biryani.

05:27 I mean, that's why it's the best rice dish in the world.

05:31 And then, of course, the mint that I brought.

05:35 It smells good.

05:39 Basically, we'll make a layer.

05:40 So let's start with our chicken.

05:43 And then we'll just add in our onions.

05:53 And then, our ginger paste.

05:56 We'll now add the rice.

06:04 And then our chopped cilantro and mint.

06:15 Then after that, we'll just add a generous amount of crispy onions.

06:22 And of course, a generous amount of crispy onions and our chopped herbs.

06:39 And of course, what makes our dish special, as you said, Andrzej, our saffron milk.

06:45 So let's add water.

06:54 And we're basically just going to seal this.

07:01 Typically, they have a method called "dumb cooking".

07:06 Dumb cooking? What's that, chef?

07:09 This means you make a dough by mixing your water and your flour until you get a somewhat pliable,

07:18 and then you seal the pan's surface.

07:22 So that when you cover it, it will be sealed or we can trap the steam.

07:29 In a way, it's like we made a pressure cooker.

07:32 For a lot of ingredients, we'll just use oil.

07:36 Or if you're too used to this, you can use a pressure cooker.

07:41 And then, if you have an oven, for me, that's the most perfect way of finishing off the dish.

07:49 Because the heat is around.

07:52 So we'll cook this on high heat for more or less the first 15 minutes.

08:00 Basically, we just want to start the pressure inside our pot.

08:05 And then after 15 minutes, we can lower the heat.

08:10 So that would take around 30 to 45 minutes.

08:15 That looks like a promising biryani.

08:24 Mmm.

08:26 It smells good.

08:30 So at least the aroma is good.

08:32 Tasha, we can fight this.

08:41 Here it is. The moment we've been waiting for.

08:48 Can I please?

08:50 You go on.

08:52 You're the most delicious chicken biryani I've ever tasted.

08:55 So I hope you can try it.

08:58 It smells good, right?

09:00 The spices, in India, the aroma is really special.

09:07 And the flavor too.

09:09 You know, it's an authentic biryani.

09:12 For the first timer, this is 8.5 over 10.

09:17 It's really good.

09:19 Thank you, thank you.

09:21 Thank you.

09:22 Thank you.

09:23 Thank you.

09:25 Thank you.

09:27 Thank you.

09:29 Thank you.

09:31 Thank you.

09:33 Thank you.

09:35 Thank you.

09:36 Thank you.

09:37 Thank you.

09:38 Thank you.

09:39 Thank you.

09:40 Thank you.
