Step:1
To prepare chicken biryani, we will first boil the rice. To boil the rice, we will light a fire under the stove and then boil the rice by pouring water in the pot. As soon as the rice boils, we will strain the water from it and keep the rice aside.

In the next step, I prepared the seasoning for the chicken biryani separately. In which, I poured banaspati ghee into a pot, added chopped onions to it and fried them until the onions turned brown.
Step:3
Now I chopped the tomatoes and added red chili powder, coriander powder, salt and biryani spices on top of them and mixed them well.As soon as the onions were browned, I added all these ingredients to the pot and mixed with fried onions and cooked well.In this stage i also added ginger, garlic and green chillies paste in it.
Step:4
As soon as the tomatoes were cooked and all the spices were well cooked in it, Now i added the chicken and cooked it well so that all the spices were absorbed into the chicken.Fry the chicken in it even more thoroughly so that it cooked well and absorbs all the seasonings.After this i added hot spice(garam masala) and some water So that the meat is well cooked.

When the seasoning was well prepared and the chicken was well cooked, I put all these seasoning in a separate bowl and then added into the rice.

Step:7
In this final step, on the rice layer, I mixed tamarind well with water and added it to the last layer to make the biryani spicier, and at the same time, I added yellow food color to make the biryani look beautiful.After that, I turned down the heat on the stove and placed a lid wrapped in a wet cloth on the pot and put it on the stove for 15 minutes.
When I lifted the lid after fifteen minutes, our chicken biryani was ready,smelling so delicious and looking colorful.
