Tips
Marinate the egg masala for at least 10 minutes before cooking.
Fry the eggs until a golden brown layer forms.
Use a cloth and a weight to help the biryani steam properly and maintain moisture during the dum process.
Add water to the spice mixture to help the spices cook and release their flavour completely and for the oil to separate properly.
The consistency of the egg masala should be perfect for layering the biryani properly.
