- Now seal the vessels with a aluminum foil first.Then cover it with a lid and place it in a tawa for dum.Add some water on tawa so that bottom part of biriyani will not get burnt.
- keep it in dum for atleast 35-40 minutes. First 3-4 minutes put it in dum at high flame.After that make the heat low.
- Then serve it hot and garnish it with leftover brown onion and butter.
My Tip:
- Here I have cooked the rice in rice cooker(absorption method), you can cook rice in any vessels by draining method.
- Here I have used aluminium foil to seal but any rooti dough can also be used to seal.
- I usually blanch the cauliflower and drain the water to make it bacteria and insect free. But don't over blanch the cauliflower.
- Brown Onion should be fried at low heat which will help to get crispy. Don't add salt to this onion when you are frying.
- Here I have served with some extra butter as I love it very much. But if you don't want you can avoid it.
