As I made it, it deviated by using pre-cooked meat. This is what I plan to do next time:

Ingredients

quantity       ingredient       step
300 g       basmati rice       1
500 g       lamb       2
25 g (½ packet)       Shan pilau biryani spice mix       2
25 g       garlic paste       2
15 g       ginger paste       2
      water to cover       2
100 g       yoghurt       3
      broth from step 2       4
50 g       almonds, blanched       5
40 g       pistachio kernels       5
100 g       onion       6

Preparation

  1. Wash the rice and leave in water to soak during the other actions. Heat the oven to 200° and place a pan of water at the bottom.
  2. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and boil with the garlic, ginger and spices until cooked. Retain the broth.
  3. Add yoghurt and reserve.
  4. Drain the rice, add broth and maybe more water, and cook. When the rice is cooked, put half in a serving dish, add the meat and spice mix, and put the rest on top. Place in the oven to steam for about 10 minutes.
  5. Fry the nuts in the ghee. Remove and reserve.
  6. Cut the onion into strips and fry in the remaining ghee. Place nuts and onion on top of the rice. Serve after a few minutes.
