Method
In a pan, add the sliced onions, whole spices and green chillies. Add oil, turn on the flame and cook the onions till they turn golden brown.
Add the coriander and mint leaves and fry them for a few seconds.
Add the ginger garlic paste, cook it for a minute.
Add the kashmiri chilli and cook it for a few seconds till it brings out a bright red colour.
Add the tomatoes, cook them till they get mashed and oil splutters from the sides. Add salt.
Add curd, mix it well. Add water, mix it well, cover it and bring it to a boil for 5 minutes.
Add the chicken, mix it well. Cover and cook it on a medium flame for 10 minutes.
In another pot, boil water, add salt to it and make sure the water tastes slightly salty. Add the rice, cook it till it is 70% done (for about 3 minutes). Strain the rice immediately. Reserve some of the water.
Add the rice to the chicken masala, mix it very gently. If there isn't enough water, pour the reserved rice water till it is almost equal to the level of the rice.
Cover the pot with silver foil and a fitting lid.
Place the pot on a preheated tawa and keep the biryani on dum for 5 minutes on a medium flame and then for 10 minutes on a low flame.
Serve it hot with raita, brinjal curry or chicken 65.

tried with Goat meat and it came out really well. I used saffron water for the colour and just at the end add a spoon full if ghee gives a good aroma and enhances taste. My wife’s reaction: well that’s a lot of dishes to wash😂😂
