Critical Success Points

  • Fry onions until golden and crisp, not burnt.
  • Do not overcook prawns in the gravy.
  • Cook rice only until 70% done before layering.
  • Layer biryani gently and use saffron milk for aroma and color.
  • Seal pan well during dum to trap steam and flavor.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw prawns with clean hands and wash surfaces after contact.
