Here's a step-by-step guide to prepare it: Ingredients: For the Chicken Marinade: 500g chicken (cut into pieces, bone-in preferred) 1 cup yogurt 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste 1 tbsp red chili powder 1 tsp turmeric powder 1 tsp garam masala powder 1 tbsp lemon juice Salt to taste Fresh coriander and mint leaves (finely chopped) 1 tbsp fried onions (optional) 1 tbsp oil or ghee For the Rice: 1.5 cups basmati rice 4 cups water 2-3 cloves 2-3 cardamom pods 1 bay leaf 1 small cinnamon stick Salt to taste For the Biryani: 2 large onions (thinly sliced) 2 tomatoes (chopped) 2 tbsp ghee or vegetable oil 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste 1/2 tsp garam masala 1/2 tsp red chili powder (optional) Fresh coriander and mint leaves (for layering) A few saffron strands soaked in warm milk (optional) Fried onions (for garnishing) 1/4 cup milk (optional, for soaking saffron) Instructions: 1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt. Add chopped coriander and mint leaves to the marinade. Optionally, add a little fried onions if you have them. Mix well, cover, and let it marinate for at least 2-3 hours (overnight is best). 2. Cook the Rice: Rinse the basmati rice well under cold water until the water runs clear. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the whole spices (cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and bay leaf) and salt. Add the rice to the boiling water and cook until it's about 70% cooked (the rice should still be firm). Drain the rice and set it aside. 3. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large pan or pressure cooker, heat 2 tbsp of ghee or oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until they are golden brown (for biryani, these will be used as fried onions for garnishing). Remove half of the fried onions and set them aside for later. In the same oil, add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they are soft. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the chicken is tender and the oil starts to separate from the gravy. Sprinkle in the garam masala and red chili powder (optional). 4. Layer the Biryani: In a heavy-bottomed pot or a large Dutch oven, start layering the biryani. First, layer the chicken mixture (with gravy) at the bottom of the pot. Then add a layer of cooked rice over the chicken. Sprinkle fresh coriander, mint leaves, and fried onions over the rice. Optionally, drizzle saffron milk (saffron strands soaked in warm milk) over the rice for extra fragrance and color. 5. Dum Cooking (Slow Cooking): Seal the pot with a tight-fitting lid. You can also use dough to seal the edges of the lid to prevent steam from escaping. Cook the biryani on low heat for about 25-30 minutes. You can also place the pot on a tawa (griddle) to prevent direct heat. If using a pressure cooker, cook without the weight (whistle) on low heat for 25-30 minutes. 6. Final Touch: Once the biryani is cooked, let it sit for 5-10 minutes before opening the lid. This helps the flavors to settle. Gently fluff the rice with a fork, mixing the rice and chicken together. 7. Serve: Serve the Dum Chicken Biryani with raita (yogurt dip), boiled eggs, or a side salad. Tips: Marination is key to getting a flavorful chicken biryani, so let it marinate well. Saffron adds a beautiful color and fragrance, but it's optional. You can also use rose water or kewra water for added aroma. Be sure to cook on low heat during the dum process to avoid burning the bottom. Enjoy your authentic Dum Chicken Biryani!
