   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

   Cook the Chicken

   In a large pot, heat the cooking oil or ghee over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add the garlic and ginger paste, and cook for another minute.

   Add Chicken and Spices

   Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are browned. Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.

4. 4

   Incorporate Tomatoes and Yogurt

   Add the pureed tomatoes and yogurt to the pot. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the chicken is tender and the oil separates from the mixture.

   Add Rice and Water

   Stir in the soaked basmati rice, green chilies, chopped cilantro, and mint leaves. Pour in the water and bring to a boil.

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked and has absorbed all the liquid.
