In the video, the vlogger first sets up a small pot and soaks a few grains of rice in it. Then, he chops mini onions and sautés the pieces. He also chops a small piece of boneless chicken and seasons it with masalas. Next, he is seen preparing ingredients like green chilli, coriander leaves, mint leaves, garlic and ginger. He chops/grates them as required and adds them to the bowl with the chicken pieces. He also adds very little of something that looks like curd or buttermilk. Finally, he fills the bowl with the chicken mixture with the fried onions, covers it and keeps it aside.

Next, he assembles various whole spices to add a special touch to the biryani. These include black peppercorns, cloves, green cardamom, bay leaves, cumin seeds, etc. He uses a mini grinder to blend them into a fine masala powder. In a small kadhai, he adds ghee, the ‘marinated’ chicken, the spice mix and water. He cooks the mixture well to prepare the thick masala base for the biryani. In a separate vessel, he adds water, ghee, an assortment of whole spices and rice. When the rice is cooked, he pours some of it into another miniature vessel to start making the layers of the biryani. The rice is topped with the chicken masala, which is followed by another layer of rice. This continues until several layers are formed and the vessel is full.

The vlogger garnished the biryani with chopped coriander, fried onions, ghee and lime. Later, he served it with some raita and two mini eggs. Watch the full viral video below:
