  3. Cut 3 onions into thin slices for barista.
  4. Heat 2 cups of cooking oil in a broad pan and deep fry onions into light golden brown. Transfer to a kitchen towel.

  15. Again mix well, add 1 cup of water, cover and cook in medium heat for about 20 minutes or until chicken cooks.
  16. In the mean time clean and soak 2 kg of long grain basmati rice for atleast 1/2 an hour.
  17. Also soak saffron in warm milk.
  18. When chicken cooks completely remove from heat. Do not completely dry up the gravy.

  24. Roll a lemon size ball from the dough to make a thin roti.
  25. Cover the biryani bowl with the roti and seal it properly.
  26. Brush little ghee on the top and bake the pot in pre heated oven for 15 minutes at 180 degree C.
