Chicken biryani is one of the most popular Pakistani dishes loved by everyone. If you want to make the best biryani recipe at home, this simple method will help you achieve authentic taste.
Start by marinating chicken with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, salt, and garam masala. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes. In a separate pot, boil basmati rice with whole spices like cloves, cardamom, and bay leaves until it is 70% cooked.

Cover and cook on low heat (dum) for 15–20 minutes. This step gives biryani its signature aroma and flavor. Serve hot with raita and salad.
