Ingredients:

500gms chicken
1.5 cups dahi
200 grams basmati rice
2 cups onions thin long sliced( 4-5 medium onions)
4 green chillies (slitted)
1 cup chopped green coriander
1/2 cup chopped pudina patta
Water
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp shahi biryani masala
1 tso garam masala
Salt to taste
5-6 cloves
10 black pepper
2 small cardamom sticks
4-5 cinnamons
1/2 cup ghee or oil
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
Orange food colour

Atta dough for sealing sides(I used towel instead to cover the pan & closed with lid)

First we need to boil basmati rice. So boil some water and add 200, grams of washed and cleaned basmati rice. Add salt to taste and add 1 small cinnamon stick, 3-4 cardamom, 4 cloves and 3-4 black pepper. And let it boil.
Now add 1 tsp of oil or ghee while boiling.
We have to cook the rice to 60%. Dont cook it fully. And strain it. Keep it aside by spreadind it in a plate and let it cool.
Now to marinade chicken add 1.5 cups dahi into the chicken and 1 tsp gg.
Add 1 tsp red chilli powder
Add more if you want to make it more spicy.
1/2 tsp turmeric powder.
add remaining cloves,, cinnamon , cardamom and peppers.
Add 2 tsp shahi biryani masala.
Add /2 tsp garam masala powder, add salt.
Add green chillies. Add 1/2 of green coriander.Add some pudina and mix well.
Refrigerate 2hrs.
To make crispy onions fry onions in hot oil on high flame until golden brown.Fry little by little.
Take out marinated chicken.
Take a thick bottomed pan or vessel and add in the marinated chicken.
spread it evenly at the bottom and them sprinkle some fried onions over it.
Drizzle a tsp ghee or oil over it.
Add some chopped pudina leaves and coriander leaves.
Now add 1/2 quantity of cooked rice over it and form a layer.
Add again fried onions, green coriander and pudina leaves with a spoon of ghee or oil over it. Now repeat the same procedure again for rice and fried onions. So all together we have one layer chicken and 2 layers of rice on top.
Now on half side add orange food colour mixed with milk and in another side yellow colour.
Close it with a perfectly fit lid. And close the sides properly with dough of maida flour. Do not keep any gaps as it will allow steam to go out.I used towel instead of dough.
Cooking procedure:

1. First cook it for around 25 minutes on low medium flame.
2. Then cook it for 15 mins on low flame.
3. Finally keep the pot on a tawa and cook it for around 5 minutes on low medium flame.
Turn off stove and keep it covered for 5mins. Open & enjoy
