Homemade Fresh Indian Chicken Biryani Recipe with raita is a delicious and adaptable, and make a wonderful dinner or lunch.

Let’s start our indian chicken biryani recipe.

The use of India Gate – White Basmati Rice – Classic transforms the the taste from home-made to restaurant style. I strongly recommend using India Gate Classic for all your biryani recipes, I feel no other rice comes close. And no, I was certainly not paid to say this.

It is the rice that we have been using it at my home when I was small too. So if you get this rice in the place that you live, definitely do try to use it.
