👨🍳 Method
1. Marinate the Chicken
Mix all the marinade ingredients with the chicken and let it rest for at least 1 hour for maximum flavour.
2. Cook the Rice
Wash and soak the rice for 20 minutes. Boil water with whole spices and salt. Add the rice and cook until it is 70–80% done. Drain and keep aside.
3. Prepare the Masala
Heat oil and ghee. Fry the onions until golden brown. Add green chillies and tomatoes, then cook until soft. Add the marinated chicken and cook until nearly done.
4. Layer the Biryani
Spread a layer of rice over the chicken. Top with mint, coriander, fried onions, and saffron milk. Repeat the layers until all the rice is used.
5. Dum Cook
Cover the pot tightly and cook on low heat for 20–25 minutes to allow the flavours to blend beautifully.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Gently fluff the biryani and serve hot with raita, salan, or boiled egg.
