1. Cant wait for the chicken to cook? Add the chicken, close the lid and leave it for 5 minutes - do not wait for any whistle. Switch off and once the pressure is gone - another 5 minutes - open the lid, switch on the flame and continue with the remaining process.
2. Do not add more water than stated, the stock of the chicken will also be there so it is perfect for cooking the rice.
3. Add in mint leaves if required. Since my family are not very fond of too much mint and coriander leaves in biriyani, I avoided it.
4. Reserve the ghee in which the cashews and raisins are fried. Once the biriyani is done, pour it in... Already, the biriyani is quite low on ghee content.
