Guacamole

In a bowl, mix chicken pieces with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, biryani masala, mint, cilantro, lemon juice, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour.

Marinate the Chicken

Wash and soak basmati rice in water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Rice

In a large pot, heat ghee or oil over medium heat. Add whole spices and sauté for a minute. Add sliced onions and cook until golden brown. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until soft. Stir in the marinated chicken and cook until chicken is browned.

Cook the Chicken

In the same pot with the chicken, layer the soaked rice evenly. Pour water over the rice, ensuring it covers the rice completely. Adjust salt if needed.

Layer the Biryani

Cover the pot with a tight lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 30-35 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and the chicken is tender.

Serve

In a bowl, combine yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped mint, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
