                          First take chicken(pieces should be big in size) , add salt, red chilly powder, green chilly, turmeric, coriander powder, cumin powder, whole garam masala powder, curd, lemon juice, mint leaves, coriander and marinate chicken. Add 3 tbsp of oil to the marinated chicken and keep it side for 2 to 3 hours.

Add basmathi rice to the boiling water. It takes only 5 minutes for the rice to cook. Meanwhile take biryani hundi, spread that marinated chicken at that bottom of the vessel nicely. Now add rice layer by layer and then add deep fried onions, food color, coriander, rose water on the top layer.

       Now close that vessel with lid and dum that whole content for 35 to 40 mins with low flame.
     
       Note:
