Sindhi Biryani is a spicy and aromatic dish that hails from the Sind province in Pakistan. This dish is famous for its unique blend of flavors and is often served on special occasions or enjoyed as a hearty meal. Traditionally, this dish is made with goat meat or beef, but chicken can be used as a healthier and more affordable option. Sindhi Biryani masala is a spice blend that adds layers of flavors to the dish which includes coriander, cumin, fennel, mustard, and dried red chillies. The use of low-fat yogurt in this recipe adds creaminess without added calories.

Instructions

1.	In a heavy bottomed pan, heat oil and fry the onions until caramelized.
2.	Add the chicken and sindhi biryani masala and cook until the chicken is golden brown.
3.	Add the tomatoes and green chilies along with a splash of water. Cover and let simmer on low heat until fully cooked.
4.	In a separate pot, add the soaked rice and double the amount of water. Cook until the rice is fluffy and fully cooked.
5.	Take half of the cooked biryani and spread it evenly in the serving dish. Then add a layer of low-fat yogurt. Repeat with the other half of the biryani and yogurt.
6.	Cover with a lid or foil and let steam for 10-15 minutes before serving.
