    Very Good! I tried this recipe and it came out good. The only recommendation I would like to make is adding some water in Step 3, or else the chicken seems too dry. After cooking the Korma for the Chicken Biryani, I removed all the bones from the chicken so that it is easier to eat and the chicken is spread out evenly in each layers of the Biryani. In Step 4 when I boiled the rice, I added the chicken stock I had from Step 1 and the rice came out really good. I will definitely be making this dish again. Thank you!
