Preparing the Chicken and Potatoes To make chicken biryani, start by heating oil and ghee in a pan. Add garam masala followed by peeled potatoes, cooking them until golden brown. Simultaneously marinate chicken with yogurt, ginger garlic paste, salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, fried onions and tomatoes before searing it in the same pan with some water added for moisture.
Cooking Rice and Assembling Biryani Prepare rice by soaking basmati grains for 15-20 minutes then boiling them partially after adding to seasoned hot water. Layer cooked chicken topped with boiled eggs into a pot along with drained rice without pressing down on it; cook covered briefly on high flame then low flame till done. Garnish finished dish using fried onions alongside fresh mint leaves & coriander before serving.
