Chef Tips:
- Make sure you use Seila rice, its best for biryani and it doesn’t break so best for beginners too
- If you using basmati rice, cook it 50% and 50% will be Cooked in Dum
- You can use boneless chicken too but best is with bone only
- Make sure the onion turns brown not black, cook on low flame when they are cooked 80-90%
- The main thing is the flavour so cook with love.
