1. When you open it, what you get is the magical, flavorsome and aromatic chicken biryani. Please dig in. Don't forget to prepare a riata while your biryani is cooking. Enjoy hot biryani with a cold raita.
2. Alternatively, you can cook the biryani in a pressure cooker. If you have access to one, a pressure cooker is a common way of cooking many Indian dishes, especially biryani. Fry the cloves, cardamom, cinnamanon and onion in the pressure cooker pot and cook until it is fried to a golden colour. Now add the ginger and garlic. After a minute of mixing, add the coriander leaves & mint leaves. Then add chicken, salt, and other spices.Finally, add the amount of uncooked rice you want to use along with the required amount of water (usually twice the amount of rice) - stir this mixture using a long spatula to mix everything together, then close the lid of the cooker and wait for the whistle. After the pressure is fully released, open the lid, stir the biriyani without spoiling the rice.
