Method
- Marinate the chicken in the garlic and ginger paste, turmeric, coriander seeds powdered, chilli powder, garam masala, yogurt and the salt, for 3-4 hours at least. Cook the rice in water to which salt has been added till ¾ done. Drain the rice and keep aside. Heat oil, add the chicken to it, spreading it to form a layer. Over the chicken, make a layer of half each of the rice, onions and coriander leaves. Repeat the same layers a second time and cover the pan, sealing it with some dough (grease the edges before applying the dough, so that the dough comes off easily later on). Let it cook on high heat for 10 minutes, then place on a tawa (griddle) and leave on low heat to cook for about an hour. Break the dough seal and serve.
