4. When its done, add water and cook till rice is done.
(Note :Once the basmati rice is cooked, you can remove the spices if you want to, else keep it. I prefer to keep them).

Preparing Omelette’s:
1. Beat the eggs,add all other ingredients and mix well.
2. Heat butter in skillet when it melts, pour the egg mixture and make omelette,when its done, remove and cut into pieces and keep it aside.

Cooking the Egg Masala :
1. Boil eggs separately, deshell and cut the eggs into halves and  keep aside.
2. Heat oil in deep vessel, add sliced onions and saute well till it turns to golden brown.
3. Add slited green chillies,chopped tomatoes, ginger garlic paste, and salt;  cover and  cook until tomatoes turn very tender. Then smash tomatoes into a pulp.

Final Cooking  and Layering Biryani :

Cooking in oven:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F/180 degree C.
2. In a oven proof dish, grease your cooking dish, spread half of the egg masala (Note: Remove 2-3nos boiled eggs from the masala and keep it aside for garnishing) and with some cooked rice, sprinkle biryani masala, fried onions, chopped coriander and mint leaves, sprinkle little ghee and few drops of saffron milk over the rice as the final layering. Repeat this process.
3. Close with tight fitting heat resistant lid or close it with aluminium foil, crimp along the side and and bake it for 20 mins.
4. When it is done, remove and keep the dish covered untill serving.

Cooking in Stove top – Dum Method :
1. Make a dough out of the wheat flour / maida with little water, the same way you would do it for chappathi and set it aside.
2. Place flat cast iron skillet or tawa on the lowest burner of your stove. The flame should be at the lowest setting.
3. In the deep vessel, spread egg curry (without boiled eggs), sprinkle some mint & coriander. Add half the rice, sprinkle biryani masala, fried onions, chopped coriander and mint leaves, sprinkle little ghee and few drops of saffron milk over the rice as the final layering. Repeat this process.
4. Close with tight fitting lid seal the edges of the lid with above prepared dough. (Note : Do not let any steam escape) (or) if you don’t prefer sealing it dough, then close it tight fitting lid and place the biryani vessel on top of the iron skillet or tawa and cook on for 15 mins and turn off the flame.5. Let it rest unopened on tawa for another 15 mts and break open the seal; now dum is also done.

Open and serve the top rice as white rice and mix the part of rice with masala, place the boiled masala egg on the top and  serve hot with 
Raita, Pickle  and Pappadam on the side and Enjoy!
