Boil rice (75%) with cardamom and bay leaf, keep aside.

After 2hours,fry onion crispy and keep some for garnishing aside, start frying tomoto, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Garlic paste. Greenchillies (grinded). Once you feel raw flavour is gone.

Add Chicken pieces, fry nicely till it turns pale white in colour, add curd if we feel you need little.

Check for spicy and salt and close the pan, allow it to cook for 2 whistles for just by closing the pan leave for the 15-20minutes...

Once you feel it is cooked well, allow the gravy to get thick consistency.

Now layer the cooked rice and chicken gravy alternately, inbetween add crispy onion and few drops of food colour.

Keep in slow flame with weight for 10minutes at least or you can do this process in microwave even for 10minutes(dum).

(The specialty is as the chicken cooks in curd, it gives good taste. No need to add water).
