Some tips:-

1. You can add potatoes in the Mutton biriyani also. Just cut some potatoes into big pieces, then fry them with some salt and turmeric powder using some oil. Then add the fried potatoes into the curry.

2. You can add chilli powder according to you, it depends on how much spicy you want your biriyani. I personally like to use Kashmiri red chilli powder it gives a nice red colour with some spiciness. You can add normal red chilli powder also.

3. The biriyani masala can be made at home, but as it's a quick and easy recipe that's why I like to use ready-made biriyani masala. It's easily available in markets.

4. You can add some hard-boiled eggs also in the biriyani. You just need to boil the eggs and then add into the rice when layering.

5. Ghee adds a distinct smell in every dish, if you add some ghee when layering the biriyani it will increase the flavours of it. You can use some yellow food colouring into the rice at the time of layering but I do not like to use artificial colours. Some people like to use saffron with some milk for additional colour, but as I wanted to keep the recipe simple I didn't use it. But if you want you can add it.

6. When layering the biriyani never press the rice on top of the Mutton curry, always spread it gently using a spoon.

7. One of the most important thing to give dum to a biriyani or steaming it, you can to cover the pan with an airtight lid or if you don't have that after covering place some heavy weight utensils on it. So that it can be steamed properly.
