Boil water in a vessel, and add salt and whole garam masala. Now add soaked basmati rice and cook till 70%. Then strain and keep aside. Heat oil and ghee in a pan. Add onion, tomato, and green chili to it.
Now add marinated mutton and cover and cook on low flame for 30-40 minutes till the mutton melts. Keep stirring in between, and you can add some water. First of all, put a layer of mutton in a heavy-bottomed vessel. Put some mint-coriander, brown onion, and rice on it. Put 2-3 layers in the same way.
Pour saffron milk and desi ghee on top. Close the lid of the vessel tightly (seal with flour if you want). Keep on low flame for 20-25 minutes. Turn off the gas and open after 10 minutes. Serve mutton biryani hot with raita, salad, chili pickle, and onion slices.
