To cook the Rice:

  • Take one more heavy bottom pan & add around 2.5
    litres of water.
  • You may include the water in which rice was
    soaked in this 2.5 litres for enhanced flavour & taste.
    Once the water starts to boil or bubble, add Shah
    Jeera - 1/2 tsp, Green cardamom-2, Cloves - 5
    Cinnamon- 3 pieces and Salt- 2 tablespoon
  • Stir it well to dissolve the salt completely. The
    water must be very salty.
    Once the water starts boiling, add the strained
    basmati rice & stir it well.
  • boil it on high heat, stirring few times
    very gently to not break the rice
  • Readymade Biryani Masala usually contains salt,
    hence salt is not added while cooking the chicken
    in this recipe. Do check if the biryani masala you are
    using has salt in it.
    Now add the sliced tomatoes, mix it well and cook
    on medium to low heat for 4-5 mins till soft.
  • Keep the heat on low and add the whisked curd/
    yogurt. Give a mix and then add the chopped
    coriander and mint leaves.
    Cook on low heat for 2 mins till oil separates.
  • Cover & cook on low heat for around 20-25 mins til
    chicken is tender. Remove lid after 10 mins, give a
    mix and close the lid again.
  • Dry up any excess water to get a thick gravy.
  • After 8-9 minutes when the basmati rice is almost
    done (90%) remove it from heat and strain the water.
    Set it aside.
    Layering the rice and cooked chicken:
  • Take a heavy bottom pan and spread half the
    cooked rice as the 1st layer.
  • Now spread the cooked chicken with gravy on top
    of the rice uniformly
  • Next, spread the balance rice as the top layer.
  • Sprinkle some mint leaves on top of the rice. Close
    the lid and cook on low heat for 7-8 mins.
  • Allow it to rest for around 20 mins.
