Recipe Notes
Handi may be made of metal or earthenware. It must be heatproof though. If not available use a deep, heavy saucepan.
For a biryani with a stronger flavor, mix in some powdered mace, nutmeg into the rice before transferring to the handi.
To save time, prepare handi a few hours ahead, and bake just before serving,
