8. *Cook the biryani:* Cover the pot and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes or until the flavors have melded together and the rice is heated through.

9. *Serve:* Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.


*Tips:*


- Use a non-stick pot to prevent the rice from sticking.

- Adjust the amount of spices according to your taste preferences.

- Add other spices or herbs like cinnamon, cardamom, or bay leaves for added flavor.

- Use leftover rice and masala to make a quick and easy biryani the next day.
