Methods

Step 1

Take a large bowl and add some yoghurt with chicken, ginger-garlic paste, haldi, red chilli powder, garam masala, dhaniya powder, jeera, salt and pepper. Mix them well to marinate the chicken pieces evenly with spices. Refrigerate the marinated chicken for 2 hours.

Step 2

Rince Basmati Rice in cold water and soak it for 30 minutes. Put some water in a large pan, add tej patta, moti elaichi, Dalchini and salt. Now let it boil. Drain the water from the soaked rice and add the rice to the boiled water. Cook the rice until it is 70% cooked. Drain excess water from the pan and put it aside.

Step 3

Take a heavy-bottomed pan and heat some Sunflower oil in it. Now add some sliced onion and fry them. Remove half the onion and set aside to garnish the Biryani later. Add chopped veggies and chillies. Let them cook until they separate from the oil. Now add the marinated chicken to the pan. Cook on medium heat to partially cook the chicken. Layer the chicken with half of the boiled rice and sprinkle some fresh dhaniya and pudhina. Now add the next layer of rice and put some saffron milk on top. Cover the pot with a light lid and seal it properly with aluminum foil. Now let it cook on simmer for 30 to 40 minutes.

Step 4

Carefully mix the rice with a broad fork and mix the layers. Garnish with remaining onions, coriander, mint leaves, cashews and raisins. Serve hot with lemon wedges, salad and raita.
