• Dhanya Powder - 1 Spoon
• Biriyani Spices
• GG Paste - 1 TSP
• Green Chillies - 4
• Water - 3 Glasses

Method:

1. Marinate the chicken.

In a bowl add salt, 1/2 spoon turmeric powder, 1 spoon chili powder, 1 spoon biriyani masala powder, 1spoon Dhanya Powder and 1 spoon ginger garlic paste, mint, and coriander. Mix well, add 1 cup curd and mix well. Add the chicken and let it rest for 1 hour. After about 40 mins add one chopped tomato.

2. Soak Basmati Rice i.e., 1 1/2 glass basmati rice and 1/2 glass normal rice for 30 mins.

3. In a cooker pan, add oil + ghee, biriyani spices, green chilies, onion and saute well till brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and saute well.

4. Add the marinated chicken to the cooker and mix well. Let it cook for 7-10 mins.

5. Add the soaked rice to the cooker and mix well. Before adding the rice just approx measure the amount of water that has oosed out of the marinated mixture. In today's case approx 1 glass of water was already present in the cooker. So I added 2 full glass of water and 1 approx full (3 total) glass of water.

6. Taste the water and add salt as required. Let the rice cook up to 3 whistles.

7. Add fresh coriander, mint and fried onions and serve 😊😋
