Notes

If your rice is not cooked, just sprinkle some water and cover with a loose lid and cook for few more mins
If your rice becomes mushy, reduce the qty of water the next time you cook.
You can use store bought biryani masala powder. Using too much of masala powder can make your biryani bitter. So adjust the powder according to your taste.

HAPPY COOKING :))))))
