🔪 Step-by-Step Recipe — Bilkul Asaan Tarika

📍 Step 1: Chicken marinate karo

Sabse pehle chicken ko saare marinade ingredients ke saath acche se mix karo. Cover karke 2–4 ghante fridge mein rakh do. Agar raat bhar rakho toh aur bhi tasty banega!

📍 Step 2: Rice ko half cook karo

Ek bade patile mein paani ubal lo. Usme sab khade masale daalo aur namak bhi. Ab soaked rice daal kar 70% tak pakao. Fir chaan lo aur side mein rakh do.

📍 Step 3: Dum lagana

Ek heavy bottom handi ya pateela lo.

• Neeche thoda ghee lagao, marinated chicken ka layer daalo.
• Uske upar ek layer rice ki.
• Thoda fried onion, hara dhaniya-pudina, kesar milk aur ghee daalo.
• Aise 2–3 layers banao, last top pe rice, fried onions aur kesar daalo.

📍 Step 4: Dum ka magic

Lid ko atta se seal karo taki steam bahar na nikle.
 Low flame pe tandoor style dum lagao –

• Pehle 10 mins high flame
• Fir 20–25 mins low flame par

Ya phir handi ko ek tawa pe rakh ke bhi dum de sakte ho.

📍 Step 5: Serve with love ❤️

Gas band karo, 10 mins aur rest do.
 Phir kholte hi jo aroma aayega na… bas dil garden garden ho jayega!
 Serve with raita, salad aur ek smile 😄

🤩 Tips for Perfect Chicken Dum Biryani:

• Long grain Basmati Rice ka hi use karo — jaise Shri Lal Mahal Empire Basmati for perfect texture and aroma.
• Marination jitna lamba, utna better.
• Overcook mat karo chicken ko — dum mein hi soft ho jayega.
• Sealing perfect honi chahiye warna steam nikal jayegi.
