Tips:

• To increase the flavor of your Jackfruit Biryani, you can marinate jackfruit for 20-30 minutes with all the spices first and then fry it.

• Use mustard oil for frying jackfruit or kathal, this would bring more flavor to your biryani.

• In this method, we have made instant biryani. However, for best results, cook the rice separately with the whole spices wrapped in a muslin cloth.

• You can also apply the dum method to this biryani for more flavors. Use some dough to cover the pressure cooker and seal with it.
