🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken
Mix chicken pieces with yogurt, ginger garlic paste, chicken masala, salt, mint, and coriander. Let it marinate for 2–4 hours (or overnight for best results).
2. Cook the Rice
Boil Laila Basmati Rice with whole spices until 70% cooked. Drain and set aside.
3. Layer & Assemble
In a heavy-bottomed pot:
-
Add marinated chicken at the bottom
-
Layer with rice
-
Drizzle ghee, saffron milk, and fried onions
Cover tightly with foil or dough, and let it cook on low flame for 30–40 minutes (Dum method).
4. Serve Hot!
Open the pot, fluff the rice gently. Serve with raita or salad.
💡 Tips for Perfect Biryani
-
Don’t overcook the rice — parboiled rice finishes cooking during the Dum process.
-
Use good quality Basmati for that perfect fluffy texture.
-
Add a pinch of Kesar essence for authentic aroma.
