  1. Pick and wash basmati rice in plenty of water and soak in three cups of water. Peel, wash and grind ginger and garlic to a fine paste. Remove stems, wash and finely chop green chillies. Peel, wash and finely slice onion. Wash and finely chop tomatoes. Clean, wash and finely chop coriander and mint leaves. Mix chicken mince with ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder, coriander powder, lemon juice and salt to taste. Mix well, and keep to marinate in the refrigerator until required. Heat oil in a non-stick pan, add cumin seeds and stir-fry till it starts changing colour. Add bay leaf, peppercorns, cloves, green cardamoms, cinnamon and chopped green chillies and sauté for two minutes. Add sliced onion and sauté on high heat until the onion turns translucent. Stir briefly and add the marinated chicken mince. Cook on high heat for two to three minutes, stirring continuously. Add chopped tomatoes, coriander and mint leaves and continue cooking for three to four minutes. Drain basmati rice, add to above with salt to taste. Mix well. Add two and a half cups of water (preferably hot) and mix. Bring to a boil and cook on high heat stirring gently but frequently till the water is almost absorbed. Reduce heat, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook for another three to five minutes or till the rice is done. Serve hot.
