Cooking Method

Wash and soak the basmati rice for 30 minutes.

Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute.
Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned.
Stir in the tomatoes, yogurt, turmeric, chili powder, cumin, biryani masala, green chilies, and salt.
Cover and simmer until the chicken is tender and the gravy thickens.
Meanwhile, boil the soaked rice until about 70% cooked, then drain.
Layer the partially cooked rice over the chicken mixture.
Top with fried onions, cilantro, mint, and saffron milk.
Cover tightly and cook on low heat (dum) for 20–25 minutes.
Gently fluff the biryani before serving.
