For Chicken Dum Biryani:

350 g chicken, chopped

20 g garam masala powder

10 ml water

300 g basmati rice, boiled

30 ml ghee

1 cup wheat flour

For Marinade:

60 g yoghurt, (curd), beaten

15 g ginger paste

1 g mint leaves

1 tbsp. coriander leaves

15 g garlic paste

salt, as required

10 g onion, thinly sliced

7 g red chilli powder

For Garnishing:

saffron, 2 dashes

5 ml ghee

2 tbsp. onion

3 tbsp. water

To prepare this Mughlai recipe, take a large bowl mix chicken with yoghurt (curd), fried onion, red chilli powder, salt, coriander leaves, mint leaves, ginger and garlic paste.

Mix all the ingredients well and let the chicken marinate for about 2 hours. When the chicken is marinated, add garam masala in it.

Once the chicken is marinated, melt ghee in a handi over medium flame. When ghee is melted, add marinated chicken in it and fry for 2 to 3 minutes.

Then, add water to it and cook the chicken on a low-medium flame. Put the lid on the vessel once the chicken is cooked.

Now, add 70 per cent cooked basmati rice in it. Above the rice layer, add brown or fried onion, ghee and saffron water (saffron soaked in 2 tablespoon water) and a little water.

Knead a quick dough with wheat flour and seal the handi with this dough, and then cover with a lid. Let the biryani stay like this for 20 minutes. This will give the perfect dum to the biryani. Serve it hot with raita.
