Now without any further information let's get started with making it:

Directions and Procedure of Student biryani:

Note that we will make student biryani in some simple steps:

1. Making rice ready !
2. Preparing Qourma for it !
3. Mix them in a proper way !

Step one : Making Rice ready:

-Put the 2 kg of rice in water for 1 or 1 and half hours:-)

If you have not too much time for this then you can put the rice in warm water for 20 minutes!

- Now let's go to next step while the rice is in water still, Take water in a pot and then make it hot so that we could proceed further.

-After five minutes put the two table spoon cooking oil in it. 

-Add star anise( badyaan k phool)

-Put one cup vinegar (sirka) in the hot water

-Disolve the four big table spoon salt

-After two minutes add your rice in this mixture

-After seven or eight minutes check your rice hardness, if it's soft then just turn off your flame or if it's not soft as you want then let the fire burning!

Remember that biryani rice should little harder then traditional pulao ! It's the beauty of student biryani.

Step Two : Making Qourma:

First step of making a good Qourma is to grind 

Tomatos, ginger and garlic, and Green chillies together and make a soft paste of it. 

After making a soft paste now let's go to the next step which is;

- Take a pot and add two cups of Vegatable ghee or cooking oil in it but as recommendation I will suggest you to put ghee inside it because ghee have some extra taste in it:-)

- let the oil or ghee go hoter and then add your paste of ginger and garlic etc.

- After sometime add chicken in it

- wait approximately upto five minutes and then add your biryani masala of Shan (recommended)

- Now add chillies, danya and Imli

-After three to five minutes go with tatri of one spoon 

- Put some kewra essence

- Add one table spoon of lemon juice if you have 

- After three to four minutes add some zarda couler ( not yet traditional biryani but this is student biryani)

- Add dahi (cord) in it

- After couple of minutes( from 18 to 20 minutes) when your mixture is now seems to be ready add your brown onions and during this all process of making Qourma remember that you should continue on mixing it well and don't try to break the chicken pieces because at this conditions it's now soft enough!

Your Qourma is ready!  Now let's go to the third step which is very simple but technical:

Step third : Mixing Qourma and rice in a proper way:

Mixing Qourma and rice is also a technique and it's not as simple as we take it:

After preparing of Qourma and rice you should take a pot and then place it on flame and put a layer of oil in it remember that it's only for making it lubricant not too much :

Make a thick layer of rice in pot and then make a thin layer Qourma on it,

Now again make a thick layer of Rice and thin layer of Qourma and so on.....

After making layers on upon another in last put dnya and podina along with a spoon of biryani masala in it.

Put a thick metal on flame and then place your pot on it and allow a little flame to it 

Let it 10 to 12 minutes on flame;

Turn off flame and take a plate

From one specific side mixx it and serve:
