Chicken Drumstick Biryani with Raita

Yogurt-marinated drumsticks cook low and sealed under layers of saffron-streaked basmati, crisp fried onions and fresh mint, so the rice steams in the chicken's own spiced juices. Every grain stays separate. A cold cucumber raita cuts through the richness, and the whole pot earns its place at a holiday table.
