This looks great! One question: in the photo of the finished dish – what kind of rice is that? That looks good as well. Also is the recipe for the rice on the website?
Thank you!

Thanks Denise for your feedback, do try! This recipe also works with timed pressure electric pressure cooker or instapot. You may also try in crock pot too if you don”t have a pressure cooker. I have used Basmati rice for the other dish on the side is called Mutton Biryani and I’ve given the link at the bottom of this recipe. Thank you!
