Chicken Biryani

Marinated chicken on the bottom of a heavy pot, rice boiled only three-quarters of the way through spread over the top, and the whole thing sealed and left on the lowest heat until the steam finishes both at once. Nothing is stirred. When you open it, the rice on top is white and the rice underneath is stained orange with spice and fat.
