Instructions

To make the brown onions, pat the onions dry and Heat oil in a pan and add the onions. On a medium flame, shallow fry the onions for 15 minutes till they are a deep golden brown, without burning them. Burnt onions will add a bitter flavor to the Biryani 

Layering and Cooking Chicken Biryani: 

Heat a heavy bottomed pot like a dutch oven, and add the chicken to it. Cook for 4-5minutes and then turn the chicken pieces once. Cover and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat. Scatter half the onions all over the chicken, and then sprinkle all the coriander and mint leaves. Next layer the rice all over the mint and coriander, and in the end drizzle saffron milk and ghee all over the rice. Cover and cook on a low flame for 20 minutes - this will help steam the rice, cook it to doneness and cook the chicken. (Note 1)

Once the biryani is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes, and finish by scattering the remaining onions on top. Serve hot digging the spoon deep to get all the layers.
