Give them a stir and cover to let them boil on high flame. It will start boiling after 3 minutes now keep the flame medium low and cook Delhi chicken biryani masala for 45 minutes. In the meantime prepare water to boil rice for biryani by adding all ingredients of it in water. Keep the flame medium low and when biryani masala is about to cook then keep the flame of water high to boil rice in it. Both biryani masala and rice usually cooked side by side.
After cooking for 45 minutes add lemon juice in Delhi Chicken biryani masala and cook it for 20 minutes on medium high flame to make it thick in texture, keep the lid on and stir after every 2 minutes so it couldn’t stick to the bottom of pan then add green chilies and turn off the flame.
In boiling water add rice and cook them on high flame for 4 minutes and 3 minutes on medium low flame with closed lid, stir them occasionally. Strain them and keep half of rice in pan and half in a big bowl. Keep the flame on for 3 seconds so there should be no water remain in pan under the rice. Now add yellow color on both rice on different spots then mix them gently with a fork to give color some rice, add chicken biryani masala over rice then add a layer of rice over chicken add some food color over assembled biryani and some biryani masala too, cover it for 10 seconds so all flavors of Delhi chicken biryani can merge together.
