Biryani’s were originally made in the kitchens of Mughal Emperors, who of course, expected nothing but the best. Chicken Dum Biryani is one of the most famous Biryani recipe made in India and around the world.

Now carefully put the lid over the foil and immediately reduce the flame.Lid over the FoilOr you can make a flour dough, stick on the lid and cover the pot.Flour Dough Cover to retain heat inside

Cooking Tips :
You can use any long grained rice, but I prefer “India Gate” basmati rice for the perfect biryani texture.
You can add food colors such as yellow, red or orange to make your biryani look more colorful.  However, I prefer not to add any colors in my biryani because saffron, rose water and yellow chilli powder leaves its own color in the rice and make it look little bit yellowish, which looks good and natural.
Chicken dum biryani tastes better with chicken on bone but I prefer cooking my biryani with boneless chicken, so that no bone get stuck in my mouth.
The important aspect of making a proper Chicken Dum Biryani is to cook it on dum with a proper cover or lid. Although there are many methods to cook it on dum, like I have shown two of them. One more method is to cover the pot with aluminum foil and keep the pot on the hot griddle on low flame for 10-15 minutes, until it gets ready.Pot Covered with aluminum foil
You can serve chicken dum biryani with boiled eggs as well, as shown in this image.
