whether onions are used in lucknow biryani or not
Whether onions are used in Lucknow biryani or not This chicken biryani recipe is straight from the streets of Lucknow. I have a friend from there who is an amazing cook ( and a professional chef) and he swears by this recipe... So here goes.. the Famous Chicken Lucknowi Biryani Foot notes Use Good quality Basmati rice, the flavor of any biryani partially comes from the rice used No tomatoes are used in Lucknowi Biryani, that is why curd is used a lot You may add 1 tbsp of lime juice in the chicken, its optional only if you like tangy flavors :) Lucknow is do not use ground masalas, the whole garam masalas used is the secret to the flavors in this dish And yes fried onions are added in lucknow biryani which are deep fry onions that gives crispy taste to biryani and are also called golden looking beauties (Birista)
