Traditionally the biryani recipes are prepared in big aluminum pot by layering the rice and biryani gravy. once it is layered, then sealed tightly so that the aroma does not escape and is cooked in a low flame.
For this biryani recipe I follow all the traditional steps , only I use a Pressure cooker instead of aluminum pot . This way one can easily make Biryani in less quantity also .
Do try this recipe you will surely love it 😀.
