Chef Kunal's Pro Secret Tip

Always soak long-grain aged Basmati rice for at least 30 minutes in cold water before parboiling. Parboil the rice to exactly 70-80% doneness (grain should break when pressed with slight resistance) before layering for the final 'Dum' steaming.

Recipe FAQs & Expert Advice

Yes! Simply substitute dairy ghee/butter with mustard oil or neutral cooking oil, and replace milk/curd with coconut milk or cashew cream where applicable.
