The oil would be separated from the spices and there should not be any watery gravy to the meat. So it was a desi-style thanksgiving dinner for us, with ChickenBiryani and Chicken ChaNp

I love to try different kind of gravies with non veg like mutton or chicken. I have used dry roasted pepper corns powder after pressure cooking teh chicken
I like making biryani with boneless chicken, if I’m making for a large group / guests. If using chicken on bone, make slits before marinating the chicken
Else the pepper chicken would be in semi gravyform as seen in the picture. Pepper Chicken will be an inviting recipe of chickenfor those who stick on chicken most of the times in cooking non-veg
Before adding water, also consider the liquid (gravy) formed while cooking the marinated chicken. This recipe forchickenbiryani uses the pressure cooker to make it a lot easier and faster to cook
