Marinate chicken with yogurt, ginger, garlic, green chilies, biryani masala, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt for at least 1 hour.

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove half of the fried onions and set aside for garnishing.

Add marinated chicken to the pot and cook until chicken is browned, about 10-12 minutes.

Stir in chopped coriander and mint leaves, mixing well.

In a separate pot, boil water and add soaked basmati rice along with salt and bay leaves.

Cook rice until 70% done, then drain and set aside.

Layer partially cooked rice over the chicken in the pot.

Sprinkle remaining fried onions, cardamom, cloves, and additional biryani masala over the rice.

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low heat for 25-30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Gently fluff the biryani with a fork before serving.
