Instructions:

**1. Marinate the Chicken:**
In a bowl, mix chicken pieces with Curd (Dahi), ginger garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, and biryani masala. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

**2. Prepare the Rice:**
Boil soaked basmati rice in water with whole spices and salt until it's 70-80% cooked. Drain excess water.

In a heavy-bottomed pan, layer marinated chicken at the bottom.
Add a layer of partially cooked basmati rice on top of the chicken.
Sprinkle fried onions, mint leaves, coriander leaves, and saffron-soaked milk over the rice.
Repeat the layering process until all the rice and chicken are used.

**4. Dum Cooking:**
Drizzle ghee or oil over the layered biryani.
Seal the pot with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil. Alternatively, use roti dough to seal the edges.
Cook on low heat (dum) for about 30-40 minutes until the chicken is tender, and the rice is fully cooked.
