7.Cook till the raw smell of the masalas goes out and the oil separates on the surface.

9.Meanwhile wash the basmathi rice nicely and soak in water for 10 mts.
10.The water measurement for basmathi rice is (1:1), but for this we already got little bit of water in the masala try to add the water depends upon the water in the pan.
11.Add the washed basmathi rice to the masala mixture and turn it gently , now put the fire in high till it bubbles.
12.After the boiling starts put the fire to medium turn the rice mixture from the bottom of the pan and close it with the lid, cook the biryani without the whistles for 20 minutes.
13.After the Biryani cooked well open the lid for 10 mts and then try to turn it gently.

5.Mix the chopped tomatoes into the cooker. Put the fire to medium and close the lid to cook tomatoes.
6.After the tomatoes cooked well ( the oil should leaves around the edges).
7.It's time to add the marinated mutton , stir it well and close the cooker with lid ( don't put weight in the pressure cooker lid) to cook the mutton .

13.After 30 mts open the lid and open it for 10 mts. After that try to turn the rice from the bottom gently.( if u try to turn the rice immediately after opening the lid means chance to rice get mash).
14.Now you can transfer the Yummy Mutton biriyani to your serving bowl.
15.Its time to fight between to your hands and to mouth, enjoy the yummy and tasty biriyani with onion raita or with mutton fry. We enjoyed the delicious biriyani with lamb fry.

Note:

Add most of the bone pieces in biriyani and flesh pieces in fry. For me, if i leave the pressure cooker to whistle means even in the medium fire it gets burn at the bottom. Thats why i am not using weight for biriyanis and also it will cook fluffy without burn at the bottom.Sometimes, lamb pieces also turns hard while leaving to whistle . but if you try to cook like this means the lamb turns soft and tender without the meat tenderiser.
