**Biryani Banane ki Vidhi (Instructions):**
1. **Chawal pakaen (Cooking the rice):**

2. **Korma (Preparing the curry):**

- Mutton/Chicken/Vegetables daalein aur acche se bhunein jab tak masala ache se mix ho jaye aur meat gal jaye (agar vegetarian biryani bana rahe hain toh sabziyaan soft ho jaye).
3. **Dum dena (Layering and Dum Cooking):**
- Ek bade cooker ya handi mein pehle cooked chawal rakhein aur upar korma evenly spread karein.
- Kesar wala doodh chawalo par daalein.

4. **Serve karein:**
