Heat ghee in a large pot and fry sliced onions until golden brown.

Add marinated mutton to the pot and cook until browned, about 10-15 minutes.

Stir in chopped tomatoes and green chilies, cooking until tomatoes soften.

Add water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until mutton is tender, about 1.5-2 hours.

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

In a separate pot, boil water and add soaked rice with salt; cook until 70% done, about 5-7 minutes.

Layer the partially cooked rice over the mutton in the pot.

Sprinkle mint and coriander leaves, saffron, and lemon juice over the rice.

Cover the pot with a tight lid and cook on low heat for 30-40 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Gently fluff the biryani with a fork before serving.
