• Lamb or goat meat (bone-in) - 300 grams
• Onion (thinly sliced) - 1 medium
• Tomato (chopped) - 1 medium
• Yogurt - 100 grams
• Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tablespoon
• Biryani masala - 2 tablespoons
• Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Green cardamom - 2 pods
• Cloves - 2 whole
• Cinnamon stick - 1 small piece
• Bay leaf - 1
• Mint leaves (fresh) - 10 leaves
• Cilantro (fresh) - 10 leaves
• Oil (vegetable or ghee) - 3 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Water - 500 milliliters

Steps

1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for 30 minutes.
2. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
3. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, biryani masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes soften.
5. Add the meat to the pot and mix well, allowing it to coat with the spices. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Lower the heat and add yogurt, mixing thoroughly. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, until the meat is tender.
7. In a separate pot, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Add the soaked rice and cook until the rice is 70% done (about 5-6 minutes). Drain the rice and set aside.
8. Once the meat is tender, layer the partially cooked rice on top of the meat, adding the green cardamom, cloves, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, mint, and cilantro.
9. Cover the pot tightly with a lid and cook on low heat for 25-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the rice to finish cooking.
10. Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Gently fluff the biryani with a fork and serve hot.
