Party Kachchi Biryani

Party Kachchi Biryani in 10 litre Rice-Cooker 

Serves 40-50

Of course you can cook without the rice cooker in a large pot, the traditional way. In that case use medium heat for first 30 minutes then put on simmer for two and half hours. The advantage of using the rice cooker is that, the temperature is controlled automatically and you get consistent result every time and you don't have to be on standby, you don't even have to be in the house. Rice cooker will keep it warm for hours until you are ready to serve.
