Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients for marinating the Chicken, massage the Chicken well and refrigerate for two hours.
  2. Melt Ghee in a pan and add all dry Masalas and roast for 30 seconds. Add the marinated chicken and fry on a high flame until oil separates.
  3. Once the Oil surfaces, add 300 ml water, mix and cover and cook for 15 minutes. If you cook on a medium flame for 15 minutes, the gravy thickens.
  4. Water has to be boiled to cook Rice and add all the ingredients and boil on a high flame.
  5. Add Rice to the boiling water and cook on a high flame to 60%. Then the 60% cooked Rice should be spread in two layers in the vessel in which the Biryani has to be cooked.
  6. On the 60% cooked Rice, spread the Chicken Curry evenly. Cook the Rice for another five minutes on a high flame to 70%. Spread it as another layer.
  7. Cook for another five minutes to 80%. Spread that at the last evenly in the vessel.
  8. Ghee and Oil should be poured together on Biryani Rice. And then add Saffron Milk and the Water that has been used to boil Rice along the edge of the Vessel.
  9. Put tissues on the Rice, sprinkle Water, cover, and Dum it on a high flame for 8 minutes and on low flame for 7 minutes. Switch off the stove and leave the Rice to rest for 20 minutes on the stove. After 20 minutes, mix it from the bottom slowly.
