1. Soak the Rice
Soak the basmati rice in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

Slice the onions, chop the tomato, and slit the green chilies.
4. Chop Herbs
Chop the fresh cilantro and mint leaves and set aside.
Cooking
5. Cook Onions
In a large pot, heat ghee or oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
6. Add Spices
Add cumin seeds, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf to the pot. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
7. Cook Jackfruit
Add the chopped jackfruit to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. Add Tomatoes and Spices
Stir in the chopped tomato, ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, biryani masala, and salt. Cook for another 5 minutes.
9. Mix Yogurt and Herbs
Lower the heat and mix in the yogurt, cilantro, mint, and lemon juice. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
10. Add Rice and Water
Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pot. Pour in the water and bring to a boil.
11. Simmer Biryani
Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
