Prep that base

Start with oil and ghee. Toss in sliced onions and cook till golden brown. The deeper the colour, the deeper the flavour. We are building a biryani empire here.

Dum time

Cover the pot, lower the heat, and let it all get cosy for 20-25 minutes. No peeking. We are trusting the process like it is a slow-burn rom-com.

let it rest

Switch off the heat, let it rest for 10 minutes. Yes, biryani needs therapy too. Gently fluff with a fork and prepare to be amazed.

serve and slay

Garnish with mint, coriander, and fried onions if you are feeling extra. Serve with raita or eat it straight from the pot. No judgement here.
