**🔥 The Art of Layering**  

1. **Marinate** mutton overnight – let spices hug every fiber.  

2. **Par-boil rice** with whole spices until 70% cooked.  

3. **Layer** in a heavy pot: meat → rice → fried potatoes → saffron milk → ghee → dried fruits.  

4. **Seal** with dough or foil. Dum-cook on low heat for 2 hours (*patience is key!*).  

5. **Garnish** with crispy onions, rose petals, and a drizzle of saffron milk.
