In the "dum" style of preparing biryanis, the chicken is cooked from two sources of heat. One from the bottom(that is your cooking hob) and the second from a layer of hot rice on the top. This way of layered cooking is what is referred as "Dum". So its worth noting that the rice you add on top of the chicken should be still hot.

For better results use chicken thighs/drumsticks without any skin. They tend to taste better than, say, chicken breasts.

Steps to make to make Hyderabadi dum chicken biryani

1. Prepare the chicken marinade:
   Mix all the ingredients for the marinade along with the chicken. It would be easier to first mix the dry ingredients with the chicken and then add the yogurt, lemon juice and vegetable oil. Set it aside for an hour or so.
2. Transfer it to a pot in which you plan to prepare the biryani. The chicken will remain at the bottom of the pot, on top of which we will be later adding the rice.
3. To cook the rice, first take a large pot with 3-4 litres of water.
4. Add the ingredients for cooking rice and bring it to a boil. The salt level of the water should be such that it tastes quite salty. This is fine because we will be later draining the water and throwing it away, so the extra salt is to compensate that.
5. In the meantime wash the basmati rice in cold water to get rid of the starch. If there is too much starch left, the cooked rice will tend to be sticky which is not what we want for the biryani.
6. Add the washed rice to the water, and cook it until its cooked about 80-90%.
7. Drain the almost cooked rice. Now without loosing too much time follow the rest of the steps.
8. Get back to the pot with the marinated chicken at the bottom. Add the first half of the chopped coriander and mint leaves on top of the chicken.
9. Now add first half of the drained rice on top of it.
10. Add the remaining half of the chopped leaves on top of the rice.
11. Add first half of the ghee/clarified butter. It will be easier if the ghee is in its liquid form.
12. Add the remaining half of the rice.
13. Add the remaining half of the ghee on top of the rice.
14. Close the pot with a lid. Make sure that the lid fits properly. We want to lock as much as heat inside the pot without letting it leak outside
15. Let it cook on high heat for the first 10 minutes and another 20-25 minutes on low-medium heat
16. Your biryani is now ready to be served. Biryani tastes the best if you consume it immediately. Also when you serve you want a mix of the chicken and spicy rice from the bottom with plain rice from the top.
