    Tips:

    • While making biryani, cook the rice only to about 80-90% as it will get cooked even further while mixing it with other ingredients.
    • Cut the vegetables in bigger pieces for biryani.
    • Add the capsicum in the end so that it does not get overcooked. If it gets overcooked, it changes the entire taste of the recipe.
