Marinate 4 kg chicken with 500 g Greek yogurt, 6 tbsp biryani masala, and 2 tbsp garlic ginger paste; mix well by hand.

Chop 4 onions and fry until golden brown; set aside some for garnish.

Add marinated chicken to the pot along with chopped potatoes if desired; mix well.

Add 200 g chopped tomatoes to the chicken mixture; cook until the chicken is well combined and the tomatoes soften.

Soak 500 g basmati rice in water; then boil for 50% doneness before draining.

Add the partially cooked rice to the chicken mixture.

Add fresh coriander leaves and mix everything together.

Cover the pot with a lid, reduce heat, and let it cook (dum) until fully done.

Turn off the flame and check the biryani; it should have fluffy rice and tender meat.

Dish out the biryani and garnish with fried onions and coriander.
