STEP 6 :Cook it until it’s ¾th done. This is very important, do not over cook or fully cook the jeera rice, as we would be making biryani on dum you need the rice to be ¾ done.

STEP 7 :Once ¾ cooked, drain all the water and keep the cooked rice aside.

STEP 8 :Heat oil in a deep bottomed pan(I used pressure cooker). Add 1 tspn of curd and mix well. Be careful here the curd will splutter.

STEP 9 :Then add cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves and cardamom and mix.

STEP 16 :Cook for another 5 minutes on medium flame.

STEP 17 :Add remaining curd, mix. Let it cook for another 2 minutes.

STEP 18 :By now the chicken should be ¾ cooked. Now it’s time to layer and put the biryani on dum cooking.

STEP 19 :I removed half of the chicken gravy mix into another bowl before adding the rice, as I wanted more layers. If you wish you can make just 1 layer.

STEP 20 :Add half of the cooked rice on top of the chicken layer, sprinkle coriander and mint leaves.

STEP 21 :Now add the second layer, by adding the chicken gravy we removed. Level it as much possible.

STEP 22 :Add the remaining rice, level it out. 

STEP 23 :Place the dish on low heat, cover it and place a heavy item on top of the plate to trap the steam inside .

STEP 24 :Let biryani cook for 20 minutes on dum heat. 

STEP 25 :Ambur Star Biryani is ready. The biryani has a different dimension due to the jeera samba rice. The texture and the taste of this biryani is lip smacking good.
         Tasty and Yummy Ambur Chicken biriyani ready .Serve it hot .
