Cooking Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, yogurt, garlic paste, ginger paste, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.
Add Tomatoes and Spices
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, green chilies, cilantro, mint leaves, and whole spices. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes are softened.
Layer the Rice
In the same pot, layer the soaked rice over the chicken mixture. Pour enough water to cover the rice and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and water is absorbed.
