• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 cardamom pods
• 2 cloves
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:

1. In a fine-mesh sieve, rinse the rice until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, bring the water, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and a pinch of salt to a boil. Add the rice and stir once. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender about 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.

 2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it is softened about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

 3. Add the chicken, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and salt to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through.

 4. Add the chicken broth, peas, and half of the cilantro to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.

 5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

 6. Spread half of the cooked rice in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with the chicken mixture then spread the remaining rice on top. Cover the dish with foil.

 7. Bake the biryani for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Sprinkle the remaining cilantro on top before serving.
