- Add Oil and Curd: If the meat is tough, add extra oil for tenderizing. Mix in curd thoroughly.
- Prepare Rice: Cook basmati rice with a teaspoon of oil and salt until it's 70-80% done.
- Layering: Layer the marinated meat at the bottom of a cooking vessel. Carefully spread the semi-cooked rice over the meat. Add brown onions, mint leaves, chopped coriander, saffron water, Kewra water, rose essence, and ghee.
- Seal and Cook: Seal the vessel with dough to trap the steam. Cook on high flame for 10 minutes, then medium flame for 15 minutes, and finally on a slow flame for 20 minutes.
