First in a pan boil water for rice and add cardamom, bayleaf, clove, black pepper, star anise, cinnamon, salt and give it a good boil.. after that add soaked rice and cook for atleast 10-15 min or 80% cook.

Strain the rice.. add yellow food colour in the starchy water collect from the rice after straining and add 1/4 of cooked rice into it. After 2 min strain that rice also and keep both the rice aside.

In a separate pan add 4-5 tbsp desi ghee and fry onion till it crisp and golden brown. Keep aside. In the same pan fry cashew till golden.. keep aside.

After frying everything in the same pan add jeera(no need to remove ghee) then ginger garlic paste roast it.. add vegetables (you can ads more of your choice), add soya chunks. Add salt as per your taste. Cover it and let it cook for some time. Stir in between to make sure that it would not get burn.

When the veggies get cook then add readymade biryani masala(mix with 3 tsp of water) into it.. give it a good stir and finish it.

Now it's a time for layering the biryani.. tannn tadaan...

I usually take casserole to make sure that it would remain hot at the time of serving.. you can also use bowl instead..

Take a casserole.. first take white rice spread it.. then spread yellow rice over it, some lemon slice, then some cooked veggies, fried onion, cashew, raisin, chat masala, coriander, and 2 tsp of desi ghee.. then set layer 2 as layer 1 over it and the third layer over there..

Finish it with the garnish of saffron and serve hot with curd or raita..

It really taste yumm..
