I'm going to add some lemon grass .

We're going to add six cups of water .

One cup of coconut milk .

Here , I have soaked a few strands of saffron in half a cup of water .

We're going to add that as well and I'm going to rinse this and add half more cup of water .

And now in this water , I'm going to add salt , stir this .

Well , you know , I have four cups of basmati rice which I had soaked for an hour stir this gently a teaspoon of turmeric powder and cover this and cook it on a medium to low flame till the rice is done .

We'll head on for the gravy with the chicken while the rice is getting cooked .

I'm going to heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil .

And now I'm going to just cover this and cook it on a medium flame till the chicken is done while the chicken is getting cooked .

Let's fry some cashew nuts on the side .

I'm going to heat a tablespoon of key and I'm going to add a few whole cashew nuts and just toss them till they are nice and golden .

Lets keep this aside .

We kept the chicken to cook for almost 20 minutes and this is done .

Let's switch off the flame and serve this nasty chicken biryani .
