    This is one biryani which i made yesterday and it turned out so yummy, which i cannot wait to share with you all. Here i am with the post. I am calling this white chicken biryani because, there is no much spice going on this and the rice is white. Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

    How to Make White Chicken Biryani

    1. First marinate the chicken in the ingredients listed above for 1 hour.
    2. Wash and soak basmati rice for 1 hour. Bring lots of water to a good boil, add in salt and the spices.
    3. Add in the drained rice and cook for 5 to 7 mins till the rice is 70 percent cooked, when you taste it, it should have a bite to it. Now drain this and set aside.
    4. Now take a pot in which you are going to cook biryani. Heat oil and fry the onions till golden. Drain more than half of the onions and set aside.
    5. In the remaining oil add the marinated chicken.
    6. Spoon the ¾ th of the rice in, spread tomatoes, half coriander and mint leaves then half of the fried onions.
    7. Now spoon the rest of the rice in and spread coriander, mint and fried onions.
    8. Now cover this with foil, and a lid. Put this on a very low heat and cook for 30 to 35 mins. You can put this over a tawa and cook on a very low heat.
    9. Once it is done, mix it well and serve hot.
