Instructions
BREYANI:
1.) Combine the Mint, Garlic, Ginger, Yogurt, Curry Powder, 1 t of the Turmeric and the Cumin in a bowl – place the Chicken in a marinating bowl and pour over the Yogurt mixture – keep in the refrigerator until needed – turn over the bowl or stir every 15 – 20 minutes
2.) Cook the Rice as per the packet’s instructions, adding the remaining Ground Turmeric with the Salt and Water needed
3.) Cook the Lentils as per the packet’s instructions until soft
4.) Heat the Oil in a medium pan – sprinkle the Potato quarters with Salt – fry until golden and crispy on the outside (the centers might still be a little raw – that is fine) – drain on paper towel and keep aside
5.) Using the same Oil, deep-fry the Onions until crispy – remove, drain on paper towels and keep aside
6.) Pre-heat the oven to 180 deg C (350 deg F) – spray a large oven dish with a lid, with cooking oil
7.) Melt the Butter in a large pan or wok – add the Bay Leaves, Cinnamon Sticks and Cardamon Pods (if using) – stir-fry 2 minutes until fragrant – add the marinated Chicken with the liquid – stir, cover and cook over medium heat for 25 minutes, stirring frequently – add the chopped fresh Coriander, stir through and transfer to the prepared oven dish (remove the Bay Leaves, Cinnamon Sticks and Cardamon Pods)
8.) Scoop half the Potatoes over, a third of the Onions, half the Lentils followed by half the Rice
9.) Repeat the layers, ending with the Onions – if you like you can add the Cinnamon Sticks and Bay Leaves on top – cover with the lid and bake 1 hour (do not stir)
