    Andhra Kodi Biryani is a delicious dum biryani, made with layers of cooked rice and chicken cooked in a ground masala using green chilies and spices.

    First of all, we made this Biryani couple of weeks back. Finally, I have been wanting to share it here since then. Amma had noted it from a TV show and we thought a new version would be interesting.

    We cook this Andhra Kodi Biryani in dum style of cooking

    This Biryani uses only green chilies, along with typical Andhra special ingredients like poppy seeds and coconut paste along with other spices.

    We cook this biryani in dum style with half-cooked rice and cooked chicken marinade. The only thought you should have is to have enough time to marinate the chicken. The actual biryani cooking time is very less.

    For more nonveg biryanis, check this collection of biryanis. Or if you are looking for some vegetarian biryanis, this collection of biryanis will be a great addon. You can make this Mirapakaya Kodi Vepudu with this Biryani. If you want, you can serve with Chicken Salna.

    You can measure out all the ingredients and grind to a smooth paste for mixing it with the chicken. This step is the time consuming one.

    The chicken marinade has all the ingredients ground and added to the chicken. We let the chicken marinate for least a minimum of 2 to 3 hours. This way the chicken absorbs the ground masala.

    Mix the chicken with the ground spice masala, let it rest in the fridge. The herbs used are chopped and added to the marinade. We don't grind the mint and coriander leaves used. The spice for the biryani comes only from the green chilies. Peppercorns are added when you cook the chicken.
