7. Fry cashew nut and pine nut in ghee, add to it.
Serve with simple onion raitha or any.
Note:
1. I usually by very tender beef (called veal) it just takes 5-10 mins to cook. Cook according to ur beef variety.
2. For dum, keep a dosa Tawa/griddle on the stove. place the dishpan/Kadai over it with a lid on.
3. Add spice according to ur taste buds.
4.I usually make biryani in pan,it comes correct for me,if u opt for a pressure cooker u can go with it. In that method pressure cook for 4-6 whistles depending on the meat variety.
