Cooking Steps

  • Marinate chicken: Combine chicken with ginger-garlic paste, yogurt, and biryani masala, then set aside for at least 30 minutes.
  • Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, fry sliced onions until golden brown, then add chopped tomatoes and cook until soft.
  • Cook chicken: Add marinated chicken to the pot and cook until it's partially done and the gravy thickens.
  • Layer biryani: In a separate pot, par-boil the soaked basmati rice, then layer it over the chicken gravy.
  • Dum cook: Seal the pot and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the rice to cook perfectly.

Notes

For an extra rich flavor, add a pinch of saffron soaked in milk during the layering process. Adjust spice levels to your preference by modifying the amount of biryani masala.
