Instructions

1
To begin making the Chicken Biryani steps, we will first begin with the rice preparation.
2
To make basmati rice separately, wash and soak the basmati rice in aqua for 20 mins.Meanwhile empty in about 3 litres of aqua in a large vessel and bring it to bubble.Once aqua starts to bubble, empty in about 1 teaspoon of crafting fat and 1 teaspoon of table salt.
3
empty in the soaked and drained rice, swirl around gently once and make for about 3 to 5 mins (I usually take it off fiery up by 3-1/2 mins).Keep an eye on rice as some brands of basmati rice cooks very fast and some takes time.
4
My rice was cooked in 5 mins.
5
filter the aqua immediately and spread the rice on a large plate.In a deep bottomed skillet, fiery up fat on medium flame,  empty in 1 sliced bulb produce and sauté it until brown (don’t char the onions).
6
Remove browned bulb produce from fat and keep it aside.
7
This will be used for garnishing and to make the layers.The next step is to augment the taste the chicken for the Chicken Dum Biryani steps.wipe down and wash the chicken thoroughly.In a mixing container, augment the taste the chicken with thick curd, red chili dusting masala condiment, turmeric dusting masala condiment and table salt.augment the taste for at least 30 mins. In a large skillet, empty in fat and fiery up on medium flame, empty in the remaining sliced onions and saute for 3 mins or until the onions turn translucent.
8
Next empty in ginger-garlic paste and saute till the raw smell goes off.empty in slit green chilies and swirl around for a minute.To this empty in diced tomatoes and saute till tomatoes turn slightly mushy.Once the tomatoes are mushy empty in red chili dusting masala condiment, coriander dusting masala condiment and table salt and saute it for about 2 mins.empty in 3 tablespoons of both coriander and mint leaves and swirl around.Finally, empty in  the marinated chicken for the biryani and swirl around well.
9
make until chicken is fully cooked. Once chicken is cooked, if you find there is excess aqua, increase the flame and thicken the masala.
10
We need the masala just to coat the chicken.Take a large wide, deep vessel, empty in ghee and spread it to coat all the bottom and sides of the skillet, reduce the flame to low.
11
empty in about 2 full tablespoons of the thick chicken biryani masala and spread it all over the bottom.Next, empty in cooked basmati rice over the chicken biryani masala and gently spread the rice to put a lid on the chicken. Use a tea spoon and remove the top oily layer from masala and empty gently over the rice, this will empty in flavours to the rice and also give colour.Repeat the layering process until you have used up all rice and chicken.
12
Over the top dust coriander and mint leaves and browned onions and close with a lid.Ensure the flame is low and place a heavy weight on top of lid to trap the steam inside to make the Chicken Dum Biryani steps.
13
Leave the dum biryani aside for 10 mins until all the flavors seep through.Scoop out the Chicken Dum Biryani from the edges of the skillet, making sure not to break the rice grains.offer Chicken Dum Biryani steps with Pickled onions, Burani Raita and Mirchi Ka Salan steps (Chillies in puckerish fiery Peanut Sesame Curry) for Sunday afternoon lunch.
