Cooking the rice

1) In biryani most important is cooking of rice.soak the rice for half an hour,as you are cooking Mutton.

Keep a vessel with water to boil,add salt little extra and add black cumin.you can add two cut lemon after removing juice as it doesn't allow rice to stick to each other(chefs tip).

As water is boiling,then add rice, cook till it's half done....important not to over cook rice,it will take 7 mts for the rice to get half cooked as rice keeps cooking even after it is strained due to the heat trapped between the rice.

Layering the rice and gravy

1) In this biryani, Add rice at the bottom, followed the gravy along with Mutton pieces and brown onions and then repeat the layer one more time then sprinkle some more coriander and mint add colour mix in milk

Cover with aluminum foil and do not mix it...cook in slow flame for 20mts,you can see the steam coming out of the rice (once steam comes means the rice is ready)

Serve hot with onion raita(chopped onion and green chillies in curd)
