Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green chillies, bay leaves, peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon sticks and 2 tsp salt, and stir.
2. Add the 500 g rice to the boiling water. Once it is half cooked, drain it in a colander and set aside.
3. Put the 1 kg chicken in a large bowl with the ginger-garlic paste, cumin seeds, red chilli powder and salt. Mix well and rest for about 10 minutes.
4. Heat the 1/2 cup rice bran oil in a large pan over low heat, then add the marinated chicken, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, black cardamom, green cardamom, star anise, cloves and black peppercorns.
5. Mix the spices and chicken together, then add the 1/2 cup curds and mix again.
6. Cook on high heat for at least 12 minutes, until the chicken is about three-quarters cooked.
7. Lower the heat. Spread half the partly cooked rice over the chicken, then scatter over the fried onions, chopped coriander, julienned ginger, green chilli pickle, yellow colour, rose water and kewra water.
8. Spread the remaining rice over the toppings, cover the pan and cook on low heat for 15–20 minutes.
