Notes :-
-----------
# For every cup of rice, use 1 cup of liquid.
# Do not mix the rice too vigorously as it will break the grains.
# You can possibly increase/decrease the amount of chicken; 1 lb for 1cup rice
# Usually saffron is used for the biryani, which gives a beautiful color.
# Chicken with bones works best for this recipe, but if you prefer
boneless, adjust the cooking time.
# You can make small slits on the chicken, this well help the masala to penetrate well into the chicken.
