Chicken Kappa Biryani

21/12/2016 By Jinoo Jayakrishnan Leave a Comment

Kappa biryani is famous street food of Kerala where they cook with tapioca and beef. Here in this recipe i have replaced beef with chicken and have made this using potli method. Dropping in a cloth containing whole spices. Once chicken is cooked, the pouch is removed.

By cooking in this method, the flavor of spices gets well in the chicken and at the same time we can remove those spices and discard them as the while spices may be a disturbance while eating.Chicken kappa biryani

Biryani means usually we imagine the ones with rice. This recipe does not have any rice. “No rice Biryani” ?

Chicken Kappa Biryani pictorial directions:

  1. Peel the tapioca/kappa skin and pressure cook them with salt and turmeric powder until cooked and mushy. Mash and keep aside.

  2. Prepare a potli with muslin cloth. Take a muslin cloth and put in cumin seeds, fennel seeds, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, star arinse, dried rose petals, black stone flower, mace strand and black cardamom.
