To Layer The Biryani:
In a handi or an appropriate biryani cooking vessel: put 1 tbsp oil and heat. Add the chicken and cook on high heat till chicken takes on a light brown color and is half cooked.
Lower the flame; flatten the chicken to form a layer. Put chopped coriander and green chillies on top.
Put all the rice on top of this layer and smoothen out. Pour in the saffron infused milk over the rice and add the lemon juice.
Cover the vessel and make long snake off the dough by rolling in on the counter and use it to seal the top of the cooking vessel.
Let the biryani cook on a very slow fire till the seal is hard and the rice looks fully cooked.
