Step-By-Step Method
Follow the timeline for authentic texture and layered spice flavor.
1
Marinate The Chicken
Combine chicken with curd, ginger garlic paste, biryani masala, turmeric, chilli powder, salt, and half the fried onions. Rest for 45 minutes.
Pro Tip
Marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
2
Parboil The Rice
Boil water with whole spices and salt. Add soaked basmati and cook to 70%, then drain.
3
Layer For Dum
Layer marinated chicken, rice, herbs, fried onions, saffron milk, and ghee in a heavy pot.
4
Seal And Slow Cook
Seal lid and cook on low heat 35-40 minutes. Rest 10 minutes before opening.
Pro Tip
Keep flame low and stable for separate grains.
5
Fluff And Serve
Open gently and fluff from the sides without overmixing so layers stay elegant and defined.
Chef's Secret
Precision Heat, Premium Finish
Use a heavy tawa below the handi during dum. Diffused heat prevents burning and locks aromatic steam into each layer.
