Chicken Biryani is the crown jewel of Indian cuisine, a majestic one-pot meal that represents centuries of Mughal heritage. This recipe features layers of fragrant long-grain Basmati rice and tender marinated chicken, slow-cooked using the traditional 'Dum' technique. Infused with saffron, caramelized onions (Birista), and fresh mint, it offers a symphony of aromatic and spicy flavors. Each grain of rice is separate and infused with the essence of meat and whole spices. It is the ultimate festive centerpiece, best enjoyed with a cool cucumber raita and sliced onions.

Tips & Secrets
- Using aged long-grain Basmati rice is the secret to achieving that non-sticky, professional texture.
- Always cook the rice only 70% before layering; it will finish cooking perfectly during the 'Dum' process.
- Frying the onions (Birista) to a perfect golden-brown provides the signature sweet-savory crunch.
- Adding a teaspoon of kewra water along with saffron provides an authentic Mughlai aroma.
