Kachchi Biryani in Rice-Cooker

This is the Biryani for busy (or lazy) Biryani lovers. It does not get any easier than this. Usually to make Biryani you have to put the sealed Biriyani pot on high heat for about 10 minutes and then lower the heat and cook for hours in very low heat called DUM. Here the Rice-Cooker will do all of this for you. You just need to plan ahead, turn the Rice-Cooker on and go watch a movie or do what you need to do. Your dinner will be ready in 4 hours, trust me!
