Recipe Notes

Place the Biryani in a bowl an inverted in an empty plate.Place the balls over it an add the silver varak on it . The balls can be made by using panneer, or potatoes or chicken or mutton to give a twist 

Additional Tips

  • For extra flavor and aroma, lightly toast whole spices (such as cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon) in ghee before adding the rice to the biryani layer; this infuses the grains with deeper warmth and complexity.
  • If you want to make the moti (paneer pearls) even more decadent, try stuffing each pearl with a tiny bit of dried fruit or finely chopped nuts before shaping and frying them for bursts of texture and sweetness.
  • To keep the herbs in the haryali paste vibrant and prevent browning, blend them with a splash of ice-cold water and a squeeze of lime juice; this preserves both color and freshness for the biryani and raita.
  • For an elegant presentation, garnish the biryani with pomegranate arils and edible flowers along with the silver varak, creating a festive and colorful contrast to the green moti and rice.
