Marinate beef with yogurt, garlic paste, ginger paste, green chilies, and salt for at least 2 hours.

Slice onions thinly and fry in oil and ghee until golden brown; set aside.

Soak basmati rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, layer half of the soaked rice at the bottom, followed by marinated beef, fried onions, chopped coriander, and mint leaves.

Layer the remaining rice over the beef and herbs in the pot.

Add whole spices, saffron dissolved in warm water, and remaining fried onions on top of the rice.

Pour water over the rice, ensuring it's just above the level of the rice.

Cover the pot tightly with a lid or dough to trap steam.

Cook on low heat for 45-60 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Remove from heat and let it rest for 10-15 minutes without lifting the lid.

Gently fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
