For Onion barista - Slice 3-4 onions thinly and uniformly.
Fry with sufficient cooking oil until light golden brown. Drain excess oil and spread it to a kitchen towel. It's very important to fry onions properly as it is one of the most important ingredients of biryani. Fry until just lightly golden brown. Over frying may make them bitter in taste.
To make Rice wash, rinse rice 3-4 times and soak for an hour with sufficient water.
Place a broad vessel with 3-4 liter of water. Add in salt(a little more than normal), cloves, black peppers, green cardamom, cinnamon, shah jeera, ghee, lemon juice, and leftover oil of onion barista.
Bring to a roaring boil. Then add in the soaked (drained water) rice, stir lightly and cook in medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until the rice cooked to 75% to 80%.
Drain the cooked rice into a broad colander and spread them so that they won't stick to each other. The intention is to release the vapor from the rise. Set aside until vapor releases completely.
Procedure to marinade the chicken.
Cut chicken in medium-sized pieces with skin on. Wash properly and drain excess water.
Soak saffron strands with 2-3 tablespoons of water.
To a big mixing bowl, add in the chicken pieces.
To that add in chopped onion, fried onion, ginger-garlic paste, minced green chilies, beaten curd, 2-3 tbsp home-made biryani masala (use as per your choice, if you like light spiced biryani then add in 2 tbsp or if you like spicy biryani, add in 3-4 tablespoon), Kashmiri red chili powder, saffron water, mint leaves, salt, and lemon juice.
Mix well with your hand, cover, and keep aside for at least 2 hours at room temperature.
Also, add in 2-3 aloo Bukhara/dry plum.
After marinading the chicken it is time to fry the chicken. For that add in ghee and leftover oil of onion barista to a heavy-bottomed pan.
Pan and fry in medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes. These steps really help to enhance the flavor of the chicken. No need to cook the chicken completely. They will perfectly cook with rice in "dum".
Layering process. First, soak some saffron strands with 1/4th cup of milk.
Take a big heavy bottomed vessel and put some rice(prepared early) at the bottom of the vessel to make a thin layer. Use 1/3rd of the rice. Discard any whole spices you find.

Over that sprinkle a handful of onion beretta/fried onion and few sprigs of mint leaves. Over that spread 1/2 of the remaining rice.
Again sprinkle 2- a tablespoon of saffron milk, fried onion, and few mint leaves.
Now spread the remaining rice on the top.
Put 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of water in the pot where we cooked the chicken. A lot of spices remain in the pot. We don't want to throw them. - To that add in 1 tablespoon of ghee, a little salt, few mint leaves, 1/2 teaspoon of biryani masala, and the remaining saffron milk.
Mix well and pour over the rice.
Finally sprinkle some more fried onions, mint leaves, biryani essence, and kewra water.
