When I used to go for an event and when Chicken Biryani is served there, I always used to wonder how difficult it is to make it so I always wanted to learn it, so finally after trying two three styles of chicken Biryani and finally I got this Dum Chicken Biryani and I loved it. Its a simple recipe. Here goes the step by step recipe below:

Ingredients :

Step 2: Now add ginger garlic and green chilli paste and mix it well then add turmeric powder,red chilli powder,chicken or biryani masala,black pepper powder,fennel powder and salt as per paste (Note: I used Chicken Masala, it worked well for me). Mix all properly.

Step 3: Add ghee and mix well then add curd ,mint and coriander leaves and mix them too in the bowl.

Step 4:Now deep fry around 8-9 onions till it turns dark brown. Put half the deep fried onions in the bowl and keep other half to be used later.

Step 5 : Now finally add tomatoes in the bowl. Now mix all the ingredients properly and keep at least 3-4hours to marinate otherwise it won’t taste great.

Step 6: After 4 hours put some ghee in the cooker and add the marinated Chicken in cooker.
