Chettinad Biriyani:
Hmmm, can’t help it…yet another biriyani recipe from my Kitchen!:) Though all the biriyani recipe sound the same, one small teeny deviation…make them special. Yep, that goes to this HOT, hot, Super Hot Chettinad Biriyani.
Ingredients:
Spices:
Cinnamon 1 stick
Cloves 5
Black cardamom 3
Green cardamom 3
Nutmeg 1 crushed
Birinji flower 1
Marati mokku 1
Green chilies 6 sliced
Onion 1 sliced
Toamtoes 2 chopped
Mint 1 fistful
Salt
Turmeric 1/2 spoon
Chili powder 1-2 spoons
Chicken thighs 4
Basmati rice 4 cups
Ghee 1 cup
Fried curry leaves to garnish.
Spices to be toasted and powdered:
Fennel seeds 2 spoons
Coriander seeds 2 spoons
Peppercorns 2 spoons
Cumin seeds 2 spoons
Dry red chilies 4-6
Poppy seeds 2 spoons
Dry coconut 6 spoons.
To be fried in oil and then wet-ground:
Onion 1 small
Ginger 2″ grated
Garlic 6 cloves
Tomato 1
Green chili 1
Curry leaves few
Cilantro leaves few.
Method:
Marinate chicken, with enough salt, powdered spices, wet-ground spices and lemon juice. Maybe for 4 hours.
In a wide vessel, bring ghee…throw in dry spices, followed by chilies and onion. Wait till they get golden color.
Then stir-in mint and tomatoes…cover and cook. Once they turn pulpy, add the marinated chicken. Do not cover, cook over medium heat.
Once the meat turns to opaque…and oil shows up on the top. Add turmeric and chili powders. Stir-in rice, cover and cook over least possible heat.
When the rice is done, remove from heat.

Is it an old one of yours or a blatant copy?
Could the tree ,nachu kondraan, which you mentioned in one of your older posts be Pisonia Alba, [lachakottei]? The leaves of Pisonia are a bright light green almost yellow.
i must say your blog is heaven for non veg lovers!
