The Magic of Marinade
Combine the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, saffron milk, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt in a large bowl with the chicken pieces. Make sure the chicken is thoroughly coated in the fragrant marinade by thoroughly combining everything. In the refrigerator, cover the bowl and let the food marinade for at least two hours or better yet, overnight.
The Rice Rhapsody
Bring water to a boil in another saucepan, then add the soaked Basmati rice. Bay leaf, green cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick, and salt should all be added to the rice. Rice should be cooked until it is 70–80% done. Rice should be drained and left aside.
The Layered Ballet
Add half of the marinated chicken to a big pot with a heavy bottom. On top of the chicken layer, spread half of the rice that hasn't fully cooked. Rice should be covered with half of the chopped mint and coriander leaves, saffron milk, and ghee. On top, distribute half of the fried onions.
The Second Act
The remaining marinated chicken, rice, mint, coriander leaves, saffron milk, ghee, and fried onions should be layered once more.
The Dum Duet
Make sure no steam may escape by covering the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil. Cook the biryani for 30-35 minutes over low heat. This slow cooking technique enables the flavors to converge and produce a delicious symphony.
The Big Finish:
With a fork, gently fluff the Biryani, taking care not to break the rice grains. As you uncover the pot and serve the Chicken Biryani to your guests, let the alluring aroma fill the air and draw them in for the grand finale!
Standing Applause
Add some more fried onions, fresh mint, and coriander leaves as a garnish. As they enjoy every scoop, watch as your visitors' taste senses extol the flavorful fusion of delicate chicken and fragrant rice.
