Ingredients

  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • 500 grams chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup cooking oil
  • 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
  • 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 cups water
  • Whole spices (2-3 cardamom pods, 2-3 cloves, 1 bay leaf)

Instructions

  1. 1Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for 30 minutes, then drain.
  2. 2In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
