Critical Success Points

  • Do not burn the onions – they should be golden, not dark brown
  • Do not over‑cook the dry spices to avoid bitterness
  • Ensure the rice is only 80 % cooked before layering
  • Seal the pot tightly for the dum‑steam step
  • Use the reserved biryani oil on top to keep the final layer moist

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns – handle with care
  • Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C)
  • Steam released when opening the sealed pot can cause burns
