4. The rice is cooked upto 80%. Do not overcook the rice.
5. Drain the rice and keep it side.

8. Add sliced onion and green chili, saute them for 2-3 minutes or till onions starts to turn translucent.

12. Put the flame on low and add curd. Mix well in the mixture. Cover and cook the mixture for 6-7 minutes.
13. Add paneer / cottage cheese and mix in the mixture gently. You can slightly fry the paneer before adding in the mixture.
14. Add the cooked rice in the mixture. Do not mix the rice in the mixture.
15. Level up the rice, here I have added 1 tablespoon of red color. Adding color is totally optional. Cover the pan with a tight lid / plate. (Seal the lid / plate tightly, use dough for the better results so the steam doesn't comes out). Heat a griddle/ tawa on medium flame and put the pan on hot tawa / griddle. Dum (steam) the biryani for 20 minutes on low heat.
16. Serve hot and enjoy with some salad, raita or your favorite curry.
