Chicken Biryani (Dum Style)
A classic Indian chicken biryani cooked using the traditional dum (steam) method. Layers of fragrant basmati rice, spiced chicken, caramelized onions, fresh herbs, and a saffron‑infused cream sauce are sealed in a clay pot (or Dutch oven) and baked until the flavors meld into a aromatic, celebratory dish that serves four.

Critical Success Points
- • Fry onions to the perfect golden‑brown without burning

Safety Warnings
