Chef's Notes
Pay absolute attention to your marination time! Rushing the thirty-minute rest for the vegetables means robbing them of their destiny to absorb that vibrant green paste.
Pro Tip
Soak your basmati rice properly in advance, but handle it like delicate glass once it hits the boiling liquid so you do not break the precious grains.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you crank the heat too high during the final simmer, the bottom layer of your biryani will char into a smoky disaster while the top remains raw.

The Culinary Science
