Critical Success Points

  • Tempering whole spices without burning them.
  • Ensuring the chicken is browned before adding rice.
  • Cooking the rice on low heat with a tight seal to achieve proper ‘dum’.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid splatter burns.
  • Use oven‑mitts when lifting the hot pot lid; steam can cause burns.
