Prepare Fried Onions: Slice the onions thinly and uniformly. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the sliced onions in batches until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Set aside.
Marinate the Mutton: In a large bowl, combine the mutton with whisked dahi, fried onions, ginger-garlic-chili paste, ghee, bay leaves, chopped coriander, mint leaves, coriander powder, Kashmiri chili powder, turmeric powder, biryani masala, slit green chilies, oil from fried onions, and salt to taste. Mix well to coat the mutton evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Cook the Rice: Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add salt, chopped coriander, mint leaves, ginger-garlic-chili paste, ghee, and whole spices. Add the rice and cook until 70% done (the grains should still have a bite to them). Drain the rice and set aside.
Cook the Mutton: Transfer the marinated mutton to a pressure cooker. Add 1/2 cup of water. Cook on high heat until you hear one whistle, then reduce the heat to low and cook for another 5-6 whistles. Once the pressure releases naturally, open the cooker and check if the mutton is tender and falling off the bone. If not, cook for a few more whistles.
Assemble the Biryani: Remove half of the cooked mutton and masala from the pressure cooker. Begin layering in the cooker: start with a layer of rice, followed by the mutton and masala, then sprinkle chopped coriander, mint leaves, and fried onions. Add another layer of rice and repeat the process. In the middle layer, drizzle the kesar water over the rice. On the top layer, pour the saffron milk evenly.
Final Cooking: Close the pressure cooker without the whistle and cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the rice to cook fully. Turn off the heat and let it sit for another 10 minutes before opening.
Serve: Gently fluff the biryani with a fork. Serve hot with raita, salad, or your favorite side dish.
