Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Wash the basmati rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, combine chicken (or vegetables) with ginger-garlic paste, biryani masala, turmeric, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    Add the marinated chicken (or vegetables) to the pot and cook until browned.
