Not too long ago, one of her dishes caught my attention. The ever familiar Black Sticky Rice (Orh Bee) that is usually used in Chinese dessert was used in a very interesting way! I got hooked and started to follow Sherie on her blog – a Β½ food blog. Well, I mentioned that black sticky rice was used in a very interesting way, right? Β Normally, black sticky rice is cooked and served with coconut milk. Sherie has 4 ways in using them, which all of them look yummy! You can see her posts here and here.
Today, I am glad to have Sherie on my blog. Of course, she is going to share with us a very delicious dish – Chicken Briyani Rice! It is by far, one of the most popular dishes around the globe. By looking at the photos, not only I can tell they are beautifully captured, I could almost imagine how good it smells and tastes. Let’s welcome Sherie!
When Leemei invited me to do a guest post on her blog, I almost couldn’t believe my eyes! After all, I started blogging and photographing about my bakes and my dishes a little more seriously not too long ago even though my blog has been around for yonks πΒ Thank you Leemei, for this wonderful opportunity! I am terribly honoured πΒ Leemei’s blog is undoubtedly one of those few blogs that i look up to. Wonderful wonderful recipes and photographs, and needless to say, brilliant travel stories with stunning photos!
I love spices.Β To be more exact, I love and absolutely intrigue by Indian spices. For the longest time, I put Indian cuisine on hold because truth be told, I was a little intimidated by the spices.Β So many types! So similar looking! You’ll hear me lament.
But not anymore because I’ve finally picked up the courage and venture beyond my comfort zone.Β For many of us who reside in Malaysia and Singapore, Chicken Briyani is not uncommon. We can get it almost at every corner. But what most of us do not know is that the biryani that we’ve been wolfing down actually are not exactly authentic though delicious to bits and pieces.
Today, I would like to share this wonderful authentic Chicken Biryani recipe with you which isn’t that intimidating at all. Once you have all the spices in the pantry at your disposal that is. In fact, it is so easy that I actually cooked this rice dish twice this week!Β One pot meal… makes my life so much easier π
NowΒ now, all you need to do is to do is list down the spices and hop over to the nearest Indian store! It will be your best decision ever – speaking from experience here *wink*Β Nandri!
Nice.. I love the the recipes from both your sites…
Thank you zmm! π

Wooo…I love chicken biryani and love love Indian food and spices. That yogurt is so appropriate to tone down the spice in the biryani. The yogurt is almost like raita! I am making some too, if I cook spicy food next time. π Thanks Sherie for the beautiful photos in Leemei's beautiful blog π ..there is never enough elegance.
Hahahaa.. importantly, the yogurt is super easy to prepare! So no excuse for not snacking healthily!
And yes, that's the idea exactly for the yogurt – to tone down the spice in the biryani π
The yogurt is awesome. So simple and yet tasty! Yes, u oughtta make some of it to help tone down the spiciness.. and cumin helps digestion!

2.5gm turmeric powder is equivalent to by tablespoon?
It is half teaspoon.
Hi Lee Mei,
I came across your website while browsing for a soup noodle recipe but ended up here instead because I love a good biryani too (am from KL myself). Am thinking of making this but I’m not sure if the cooking time for the rice is sufficient to produce soft, fluffy basmati?
Cheers
Yes, the whole rice cooking time is about 13 minutes, it should be fluffy like in the picture.
