    • Add beans, carrots, potatoes, and boiled green peas to the mix. Give everything a quick toss to ensure the vegetables are well coated with the spices.

    • Pour mentioned amount of water into the pan to deglaze it, then cover with a lid and let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

    • Seal the pan and let the biryani cook on a low-medium heat for 15 minutes. This simmering process allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
      closing pan and cooking
