👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Blend the garlic and ginger into a paste
- 2 Marinate the chicken with yogurt, the ginger-garlic paste, and all the ground spices for at least 1 hour
- 3 Fry the sliced onions in ghee until golden brown and crispy; set some aside for garnish
- 4 Sauté the whole spices, add the tomatoes, and cook until softened
- 5 Add the marinated chicken and cook until halfway done
- 6 Boil the basmati rice with salted water and whole spices until about 70% cooked, then drain
- 7 Arrange the chicken at the bottom of the pot, then layer the rice on top
- 8 Sprinkle the fried onions, raisins, and saffron milk mixture on top
- 9 Cover the pot tightly and cook on low heat (dum method) for 25-30 minutes
- 10 Gently stir before serving
💡 Tips
• Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour — the longer, the better (overnight in the fridge is best)
• The dum process (steaming in a tightly covered pot) is the secret to fragrant biryani
• Real saffron is expensive, but it makes the biryani's color and aroma so much more special
