Cover the biryani pot with aluminum foil and close with a lid, place over low heat and cook for 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Use homemade fresh fried onions (fry the onions in oil till golden brown). Store-bought fried onions lack flavour, aroma and taste.<\/li>\n<li>Sprinkle fresh mint leaves over the rice layers, the aroma of mint leaves makes the biryani taste a whole lot better (my favorite step).<\/li>\n<li>To enhance the taste further, sprinkle saffron (2 pinches) soaked in 3 tbsp milk or water over the rice while layering.<\/li>\n<li>Use good quality Basmati rice, pure Coconut oil while shallow frying the chicken and pure ghee while cooking the meat masala- these will make biryani taste delish.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Try these easy tips and make your biryani taste better.
