  • Transfer half of the cooked veggies to a dum biryani pot or pressure pan or your dum biryani utensil set aside half of the veggies
  •  Add layers of rice then fried onion and cooked vegetables (Repeat till 2-3 layers are made and your pot is full)  
  • Add nuts, chopped mint and coriander leaves at top layers_x000D_
  • Begin to heat an old heavy bottom tawa and proceed with the next step
  • Pour saffron milk cover the pan with 2 thick moist kitchen towels. Place the lid and a heavy object on the lid. Or you can make dough made of wheat flour. Moisten the rim of the pan, place this dough around the rim and place the lid over it. Press the lid tight so that it sticks to the dough tightly and no steam vents out. I do not prefer to do this as this mess up the pan and cleaning is a great pain. 
  • Move this pan to the hot tawa, cook on medium flame for 5-10 mins & set the flame to low cook this way for 10 - 15 mins.
