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).
