Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Meat
In a large bowl, combine the cubed lamb or beef with yogurt, turmeric powder, biryani masala, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well, cover, and let it marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the refrigerator for best flavor).

Soak the Rice
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in enough water for at least 30 minutes, then drain.

Cook the Meat
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat ghee or oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown. Add the marinated meat along with the cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom pods, and cumin seeds. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.

Cook the Rice
In a separate pot, bring 5 cups of water to a boil. Add the soaked and drained basmati rice to the boiling water along with a pinch of salt. Cook until the rice is about 70% cooked, then drain the excess water.
