    Nattu Kozhi Biryani Recipe | Country Chicken Biryani in pressure cooker recipe with step by step pictures and instructions. Delicious and lip smacking biryani cooked with country chicken/nattu kozhi in pressure cooker. Nattu kozhi takes more time to cook than broiler chicken. This is so flavorful, mild spicy and delicious biryani. Country chicken adds lot of flavor and taste.

    Nowadays we always get country chicken instead of broiler chicken due to its health benefits. Country chicken is also good for cold and cough. I am big fan of Biryani and always try different methods. This is one the best biryani I did and it tasted so good similar to one we get in restaurants. My hubby and kids liked it a lot. Though I make Chicken/Mutton Biryani often, somehow it will get missed to be documented in my blog. Finally today posting the recipe. 

    Do try and let me know your feedback. You can also try the below recipes.

    Notes

    We always get country chicken with skin and turmeric applied
    You can increase green chilli or red chilli powder for more spiciness. This is mild spicy suitable for kids.
    Making sure water is completely dry when cooking chicken before adding water
    Cooking time of country chicken depends on the type we get. Original country chicken takes around 7-8 whistles to cook
    You can pressure cook the chicken first and them add water, rice and cook.
    Make sure while measuring water you measure the chicken stock too

      I never liked naatu kozhi as a kid, always felt there was hardly anything to eat in it, but now as you grow older and realize how much health wise this is better, you find it tough to get some good ones... hehe... That biriyani looks like a delight!
