Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
Mix chicken with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala, salt, and lemon juice. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Cook the Rice
Boil the soaked basmati rice until it is 70% cooked. Drain and keep aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Masala
Heat Chiranjiv Gold Mustard Oil in a heavy-bottom pan. Add cumin seeds and whole spices. Once aromatic, add sliced onions and cook until golden brown.
Add tomatoes and green chillies. Cook until the tomatoes become soft. Add the marinated chicken and cook until the chicken is tender and the oil starts separating from the masala.
Step 4: Layer the Biryani
Spread half of the rice over the cooked chicken. Sprinkle mint leaves, coriander leaves, fried onions, and saffron milk. Add the remaining rice and repeat the garnish.
Step 5: Dum Cooking
Cover the pan tightly and cook on low heat for 20–25 minutes to allow the flavors to blend perfectly.
