Spicy Chicken Biryani Fried Rice

1.Rinse the biryani rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2.In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the soaked biryani rice and a pinch of salt. Cook until the rice is about 70% done, then drain and set aside.

3.In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

4.Add the mixed veggies to the skillet and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender.

5.Stir in the chicken masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Mix well to coat the chicken and veggies with the spices. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the spices bloom.

6.Push the chicken and veggies to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked, then mix them into the chicken and veggie mixture.

7.Add the drained biryani rice to the skillet. Gently fold the rice into the chicken and veggie mixture, ensuring everything is well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8.Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.

9.Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
