First things first, marinate the chicken. Yogurt, spices, and a squeeze of lemon will do the trick. Let it soak up all the goodness while you vibe to your playlist. The longer it marinates, the better.

Wash the basmati rice until the water runs clear because no one likes mushy rice. Cook it until itĄ¯s just seventy percent done. It will finish cooking in all that biryani magic later.

Time to make your kitchen smell divine. Fry onions until golden, throw in ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and whole spices. This is where the flavor explosion begins.

Now, letĄ¯s build that biryani. Layer rice over the chicken, drizzle with saffron milk, and top with fried onions and a little ghee. Seal the deal and let it cook on low heat.

Low and slow is the key. Cover the pot, let it steam, and do not peek for at least twenty minutes. The wait is worth it.
