Preparation Wash and soak basmati rice in a bowl for at least 1hr before cooking. Drain the water and keep it aside.

Close lid and cook rice until it's half done at high heat. Add chicken mix into the pan with rice and mix them all together. Add green chilli and cook tehari further under low heat and closed lid. Cook for 20 mins at dome (dome is a process to cook at very low heat and closed lid. This process can also be substituted for baking in the oven.)
Serve hot, enjoy!
