Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add mutton pieces and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Sprinkle in cumin seeds, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, bay leaves, and black pepper.

Season with salt and mix well, cooking for another 2 minutes.

Pour in water, bringing the mixture to a boil.

Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1-1.5 hours until mutton is tender.

Remove mutton and set aside, reserving the broth.

In the same pot, add rice and stir to coat with the oil and spices.

Pour reserved broth over the rice, ensuring it covers the rice by about an inch.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover tightly.

Cook for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Fluff rice with a fork and gently fold in cooked mutton, raisins, and almonds.

Let sit covered for 5 minutes to meld flavors.

Garnish with saffron and chopped cilantro before serving.
