Methods:
• Set water for boiling in a stockpot, add ghee, whole spices, freshly chopped coriander and mint leaves & salt to taste, mix and add the soaked basmati rice, boil & cook the rice until its 90 % done.
• Strain the rice and spread it over a large size plate and cool down to room temperature.

For marinating chicken
Ingredients:
• Chicken 1 kg
• Salt to taste
• Lemon juice 1 tsp
• Curd 400 gm
• Red chilli powder 1 tbsp
• Turmeric powder ½ tsp
• Ginger garlic paste 2 tbsp
• Green chilli paste 1 tsp
• Fried onions ½ cup
• Biryani masala 2 tbsp
• Fresh mint leaves a handful (roughly chopped)
• Fresh coriander leaves a handful (roughly chopped)
• Ghee 2 tbsp
Methods:
• Wash the rice grain with water 4-5 times or until the water is clear enough, soak it in fresh water for 45-50 minutes.
• For marinating chicken, take a mixing bowl and add the chicken pieces, further add all the remaining ingredients of marinade, mix well and keep it marinated for at least 1 hour.

For biryani
Ingredients:
• Ghee 2 tbsp
• Marinated chicken
• Cooked rice
• Fresh coriander leaves
• Fresh mint leaves
• Fried onions
• Saffron infused milk (soak saffron in warm milk)
• Live charcoal + ghee
Methods:
• Set a wok or a kadhai on medium heat, add ghee and the marinated chicken, stir and cook the chicken until it starts to bubble and the curd leaves oil, this process might take about 10-12 minutes depending on the size of chicken, cook the chicken up to 90%.
• Once the chicken is cooked up to 90%, remove it in a bowl.
• Now, in the same pan that was used for cooking chicken, spread a layer of cooked rice, then add freshly chopped mint & coriander leaves, some fried onions and pour some saffron infused milk.
• Now, over the rice, spread a layer of cooked chicken along with its masala, repeat the addition of fresh coriander, mint leaves and fried onions, now, layer the remaining cooked rice over the chicken and place a live burning charcoal in a bowl and pour ghee over it, cover and smoke for 5 minutes to impart smoke flavour in biryani.
• Now as the biryani is smoked, add some more freshly chopped mint & coriander leaves, some fried onions, pour some saffron infused milk and pour some more ghee for the extra flavour or you could also use oil that was used for frying onions.
• As the layering and final addition of ingredients for the biryani is done, we need to give a dum, by placing a lid on the wok and seal the edges of the wok with a dough, and keep it on very low flame for 30 minutes, make sure you use a heavy bottom wok or place a tawa underneath to avoid burning of biryani.
• The biryani is ready to be served, serve it hot with some papad, chilled raita or some mirch ka salan along with it.

I tried it today for my wife's birthday and your biryani recipe made my day. The biryani came out of well and your instructions were super perfect, just followed you steps and it turned out to be the exact biryani as yours. Thanks a ton.

[wildstonediaries]

Awesome !!! I tried this 3 times n learned below

1. Add less curd or set curd as while boiling it will be very watery n masala won't go in biryani rice
2. Add more fried onion to chicken without fail
3. Put mor 4ltr water while boiling 1kg rice n while draining water take out all masala add it back ☺️
5. Add some chillies while cooking rice n make sure add more salt than normal else basmati rice tastes very less salt

6.Add layer of rice, n then chicken vice versa dnt put all
