Take a bowl and add 1.5 cups of basmati rice.

Wash the rice 2-3 times until the water runs clear, then drain.

Soak the rice for 30 minutes.

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil.

Add 1 inch cinnamon stick, 4 cloves, and 2 cardamom pods.

Add chopped ginger (2 inches) and 10-15 garlic cloves, sauté until fragrant.

Add 1/2 onion and 2 chopped tomatoes, cook until soft.

Add 2 tablespoons of cilantro and 2 tablespoons of mint, mix well and set aside to cool.

Grind the cooled mixture with 1/2 cup yogurt to make a paste.

In a separate pot, heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil.

Add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and 2-3 green chilies.

Add 2 tablespoons of fried onions and sauté for 1 minute.

Add 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, and 1/2 teaspoon biryani masala, mix well.

Add the prepared paste and fry until oil separates.

Add the soaked rice to the mixture and fry for a few minutes until lightly golden.

In another pot, boil 3 cups of water (double the amount of rice).

Add the boiling water to the rice mixture, season with salt, and stir well.

Cover and cook on low to medium heat until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.

Let it sit covered for 10-15 minutes before serving.
