Now a days Pot biryani / chatty Dum biryani is one of the most  popular and  trending biryani that everyone likes. I am the one who loves the trending and hit dishes. Whenever I saw new recipes, it was sure that I want to make it on the next day. This recipe I got from my cousin. She makes this pot biryani in the party. I am attracted this external outlook, taste and flavour.The external part is covered with Maida dough. This method is used to Dum the biryani, that the air does not goes out. So the flavour and taste of rice and beef masala is still remain in the pot and the mix of rice and beef masala gives  an extraordinarily taste and aroma. Another interesting one is opening the dum. The maida batter is cooked and crispers. So by using knife you can cut the edges of dough and then slowly open/ remove the dough. Inside the dough there is a lid. you can remove it. At last you can reach your flavourful biryani Masala. There is a good smell coming while opening the lid. Then you can either serve it to any plates or you can eat in there. I like to eat this biryani in the pot itself. It was very easy to eat in the pot. 

Let's follow the steps to make flavourful pot biryani/ chatty Dum biryani.
