Thanks to my cousin sister veena she gave me a wonderful recipe we enjoyed i served biryani with kababs eggs and raita it was super duper tasty and very nice for rainy weather....mom and dad loved it so much they asked me to prepare this biryani again...:)

Ingredients:

500 Grams Keema(lamb mince)

500 Grams Basmati Rice

1 Large Onion (roughly chopped)

1 Large Tomato (roughly chopped)

3 Green Chilly (slit)

2 Tbsp Ginger & Garlic Paste

3 Pods Cardamom 

1 Inch Cinnamon Stick

1 Bay leaf

Fist full coriander and mint leafs (finely chopped)

1/2 Lime juice

4 Tbsp Ghee

3 Tbps Oil

Salt to taste. 

How to prepare ginger and garlic paste:

I would normally take equal measure  1/3 cup of ginger and garlic and add 1 tbsp of fennel seeds and grind to a smooth paste i will not add water while grinding to a paste rather add 2 tbsp vinegar and 1/4 tsp salt this paste will remain fresh in the fridge for 2 weeks preserve in a glass airtight container.

For 1 coffee glass rice i have added 1 1/2 Cup water. for 1/2 kilo rice the measure was 3 glasses rice i added 4 1/2 glass water. if you have chicken or mutton broth add 3 cups mutton broth and 1 1/2 cups water. mom some times will add regulare skimmed milk instead of water you can do that as well so you'll add 3 cups of broth or water and 1 1/2 cups milk.However i added 3 cups mutton broth and 1 1/2 cup water.
