How to make Special Chicken Biryani

1. Boil the chicken.

In a pressure cooker, heat some oil, throw in the whole masalas. Once they start spluttering, add some ginger/garlic paste. Almost immediately, add the powdered masalas and a little water for the masala to cook.
3. Keep stirring every couple of minutes. Add the boneless chicken once the water in the masala has evaporated. Add the rice and mix well with the chicken. Add some water, and close the cooker. Take off the heat after 3 whistles. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
