I am going to cook this for my boyfriend tomorrow and I have a few questions. First of all, I am a little confused from the listed ingredients to the ingredients on the video. There is no mention of mint leaves on the written part. Also in the how to make section, there is a mention of saffron milk, however in the video and in the lists of ingredients there is no mention of milk. And one more very important question, the video does not show a layer of the chicken with the rice, it just shows that you put the marinated chicken on the bottom of the pot and then the rice in above that. Is there or is there not a layer that needs to go on?? Please help i want this to turn out.
Thx

I hope I could help you with your unanswered questions and I am answering this very late as Iam in this site very recently.
1. How to make saffron milk - mix saffron in a little amount of warm milk.
2. There is no layer as such. Just spread rice on top of the marinated chicken.
Goodluck.

Seems like I can help you out with the very first question you have - Mint leaves are usually used for flavor and so, the same can be taken as optional. That is usually put as a garnish, which is after the dish is cooked. Adding mint leaves does make the biryani flavorful, but if you don add mint leaves also, that doesn much affect the taste of the rice. If you use coriander that should be enough! :)
