Add tomatoes and half of the chopped coriander and mint leaves. Add the masalas and fry for a few seconds. Pour in the curd, add salt and mix well. Add the chicken pieces. Saute well (the curd should reduce and become a thick gravy). Add washed, soaked and drained rice. Mix well, reduce the flame to a minimum and add boiling water. Add the rest of the ghee, chopped coriander and mint leaves. Close with the lid. The biryani should cook in 1 or two whistles based on the pressure cooker. Do not remove the lid for 15 minutes.
