Method:
Soak the rice for 30 mins..Drain it and set aside.Heat a big pan with lots of water and bring that to boil...Add salt to it and add in the rice...Simmer this till the rice is ¾ cooked..Drain it and leave it to cool so that it gets into individual grains..

Throw in mint leaves and coriander leaves...Pour a splash of water and bring this to boil..
Simmer this until the chicken is cooked.There should be some gravy left in this..
Now take a oven proof dish or a microwave dish...Spoon half of the chicken gravy in the bottom..
Add rice,fried onions,mint,coriander leaves on top..
Spoon some more gravy on top of the rice..Finish it off with some more rice,fried onion,mint,coriander leaves,raisins and saffron liquid.
Cover this with foil and place it in a 120°C(240°F) oven for 30-45 mins.If you are going to use microwave,Cover this with the microwave lid or plastic wrap and cook it on high for 10 mins..

I made this today! It's fabulous, as usual, but very different from your usual recipes, because it's not spicy at all. My husband loved the addition of those crispy fried onions. I think I added a little too much water to the chicken, because I got a lot of gravy, more than in the pictures, but it all evaporated during baking. So if anyone gets the same, don't worry. Because biryani takes so much work in itself, I didn't have time to prepare any curry, so I just served this with tomato and cucumber raita.
