Marinate mutton with yogurt, ginger, garlic, and biryani masala for at least 2 hours.

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

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

Stir in chopped tomatoes and green chilies; cook until tomatoes soften.

Add water and bring to a boil, then simmer until mutton is tender, about 1-1.5 hours.

In a separate pot, boil basmati rice until 70% cooked; drain.

Layer half of the rice over the mutton mixture in the pot.

Sprinkle fried onions, coriander, and mint leaves over the rice.

Add the remaining rice on top, followed by saffron dissolved in warm water.

Drizzle with lemon juice and cover tightly with a lid.

Cook on low heat for 30-40 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

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