Method

Wash the chicken thoroughly 3-4 times and drain the water completely. Take a wide bowl and add the chicken pieces to it.

Now add yogurt/curd, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masalapowder, turmeric powder and salt to the chicken.

Add the ginger & garlic paste, gingelly oil to the bowl.

Mix everything thoroughly with your hand, until the masala is evenly spread. Close and marinate for about 1-2 hours in refrigerator.

To Make Biryani

Wash the basmati rice 2-3 times and drain the water completely. Add fresh water and soak the rice for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, drain the water from the rice and keep it ready.

Slice the onions, chop the tomatoes, clean the mint leaves and keep everything ready.

Heat 5 tbsp of oil in a heavy bottomed vessel or biryani vessel.

Add cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, black stone flower, cardamom,mace, bay leaf and fry for few seconds or until nice aroma arises.

At this stage add the sliced onions, little salt and mix well.


Saute the onions really well for about 10-12 minutes or until they turn nice brown color with lovely aroma.

Now add the slit green chillies and mint leaves.

Stir everything really well and saute well for about a minute or until the mint leaves shrink.

Now add the chopped tomatoes and give a good stir.

Saute the tomatoes really well until they mushy.

Once the tomatoes turn really mushy, add the marinated Chicken along with all the masala.

Mix really well, until everything is well combined. Let it come to a boil.


Now close the lid and cook the chicken for about 10 minutes. Open the lid and stir in between to avoid any burning.

When the chicken is halfway cooked, add one handful of mint leaves and stir really well.


Cook the chicken well until done, the oil will start to separate and will look like chicken masala.

At this stage add about 4.5 cups of water, salt and lemon juice.

Let it come to rolling boil; now add the washed and soaked basmati rice.

Give a gentle stir and let it come to rolling boil.

Close the lid and cook on medium flame for about 10 minutes.

Open the lid and check the rice, now all the water is gone and rice will be half way cooked.


 Now it is time to keep the biryani in dum. 

Heat an old dosa tawa and keep the biryani vessel on top of it. Give a gentle and good stir.

 Cover the biryani vessel with lid. Now keep a pot filled with water or anything heavy on top of biryani vessel. This will ensure that the steam will not escape.

Cook the Chicken Biryani in dhum for about 20-25 minutes on low medium flame and then switch off the stove.

Open the lid, add some mint leaves and then keep it closed for another 30 minutes. [Stove should be switched off only] 

Delicious, flavourful and super tasty Chicken Dhum Biryani is ready to be enjoyed. Serve it hot with Onion Raita or Cucumber Raita or any Raita of your choice.
