* First, wash the chicken thoroughly and pat it completely dry. Add the chicken to a heated pan and sauté it lightly.
Add the onion, garam masala, and salt. Then add water and let the chicken cook until tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, separate the yakhni (stock) from the chicken and keep both aside.
Coat the cooked chicken with the prepared marinade and bake it for 10 minutes.
For the rice, heat cooking oil in a pan and add the sliced onions. Fry until golden brown. Add the tomato paste and all the spices, and cook everything together to make a flavorful masala.
Add the prepared yakhni to the masala, followed by the rice. Cook the rice and then place it on dum.
Once the rice is fully cooked, add the baked chicken on top and put it on dum again for 10 minutes.
