3. *Cook the rice:* In a large saucepan, heat 2 cups of water over high heat. Add the soaked rice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.

4. *Prepare the masala:* In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee or oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute.

5. *Add the protein or vegetables (if using):* Add the chicken or vegetables and cook until browned or tender.

6. *Add the spice mix:* Add the prepared spice mix and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

7. *Layer the biryani:* In a large pot or Dutch oven, create a layer of cooked rice. Add a layer of the masala mixture on top of the rice. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of rice on top.

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.
