Chicken baryani homemade

Chicken biryani recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups basmati rice
500g chicken, cut into pieces
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup yogurt
2 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp garam masala
2-3 green chilies, slit
Fresh coriander and mint leaves
4 cups water
Salt to taste
Ghee or cooking oil
Instructions:
Wash the rice and soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat ghee or oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown. Remove half of them for garnish.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a couple of minutes. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they turn white.
Add the chopped tomatoes, green chilies, and spices (turmeric, red chili, garam masala). Cook until the tomatoes are soft.
Stir in the yogurt and cook until the oil separates from the masala.
In a separate pot, bring the 4 cups of water to a boil and add the soaked rice. Cook the rice until it's 70% done, then drain.
Layer the partially cooked rice over the chicken in the pan. Sprinkle fresh coriander and mint leaves. Top with the reserved fried onions.
Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid or seal it with dough to trap steam. Cook on low heat for about 20-25 minutes until the rice is fully cooked.
Once done, gently fluff the biryani with a fork, and it's ready to serve.
Enjoy your homemade chicken biryani!
Note: You can also add saffron milk for an extra layer of flavor and aroma.
