Marinate king fish with yogurt, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, and spices for at least 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté sliced onions until golden brown.

Add chopped tomatoes and green chilies; cook until tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes.

Stir in marinated fish and cook until it starts to flake, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove fish and set aside; add soaked basmati rice to the pot.

Pour in water and bring to a boil; add salt and spices to taste.

Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until rice is cooked, about 15-20 minutes.

Layer cooked fish over the rice and sprinkle with chopped coriander and mint leaves.

Drizzle saffron-infused water over the top for color and flavor.

Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Gently fluff the biryani with a fork before serving.
