Add marinated chicken (yogurt, ginger garlic paste, spices) into those dreamy onions. Let it sizzle and soak in all the good stuff. Smells like victory already.

Add the masalas. Turmeric, red chilli, coriander powder, garam masala. Mix it up like you mean it. No bland bites here.

Add soaked basmati rice. Pour in hot water, season with salt, and get ready to cover-and-cook magic.

Cover the pot, lower the heat, and let it all get cosy for 20-25 minutes. No peeking. We are trusting the process like it is a slow-burn rom-com.

Switch off the heat, let it rest for 10 minutes. Yes, biryani needs therapy too. Gently fluff with a fork and prepare to be amazed.

Garnish with mint, coriander, and fried onions if you are feeling extra. Serve with raita or eat it straight from the pot. No judgement here.
