Pan Chicken Biryani

Step 1

In a heated pan, add ml ghee and add clove n small cinnamon stick. Add green chilli and onion (cut vertically thin) and saute until soft and light brown. Add tomato and let it become soft. Add chicken that's readily marinated in ginger garlic paste, turmeric and salt (I keep chicken marinated for a week in fridge and use it daily) Keep the lid and let the chicken become soft and let the water ooze. Add soaked basmati rice, remaining ml ghee and mix well by adding salt, chilli powder and garam masala. Keep lid for a min till the rice becomes crisp. Add water (as needed) and close the lid of pan. Let the rice cook well. The ghee and onion gives the color you see after all the water is absorbed. Garnish with mint and coriander leaves
