Method:

  1. Lets Start with the rice preparation. Its important to make sure you do not undercook or overcook your rice as this will make or break your recipe. Wash the Basmati rice 3 times making sure you remove any dirt and impurities. Now in boiling water add some rose water(optional) and salt. Drain the rice when cooked 70%.
  2. In a bowl add curd with coriander powder, red chilli powder, ginger garlic paste and salt. Mix well and keep it aside. In a hot pan add the biryani spice mix and roast it for few minutes. Grind the mixture and keep it separately.
  3. In a cooking pot add some oil and once heated add onions to it. Until the onions are golden brown go ahead and add the curd mixture to it. Stir it and Let the oil separate. Now add the chicken mince to this mixture and stir well until it thickens.
  4. Add little water and stir for 5 more mins. Add little salt and the spice mix and stir well. Now go ahead and add 1 cup of milk and cook for 10 mins. Keep this mixture aside.
  5. In a separate pot add some butter and add half of this mixture. Then add the rice followed by some fried potatoes and boiled eggs. Add the remaining gravy on it and add the rice again.
  6. Add some ginger julienne and chopped coriander leaves and some more fried potatoes. you can also add some mint leaves (optional). To give more flavor, mix some saffron in warm milk and add on the rice evenly(you can also mix food color with milk and add).
  7. Cover the pot and cook it for 10more minutes. Serve it hot with salad or any other kebabs. Tastes even better when shared with your loved ones 🙂
