Tips & Secrets
- Using aged long-grain Basmati rice is the secret to achieving that non-sticky, texture of a feast.
- Always cook the rice only 70% before layering; it will finish perfectly during the 'Dum' process with meat moisture.
- Caramelizing the onions (Birista) to a perfect golden-brown provides the signature sweet-savory crunch.
- The 15-minute rest period after cooking is crucial for the flavors to settle into the rice grains.
