#### **Instructions:**
1. **Marinate the Mutton:**
– In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, and lemon juice.
– Add the mutton pieces to the marinade, mix well, and let it marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
2. **Prepare the Rice:**
– In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add bay leaf, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, cloves, and salt.
– Add the soaked basmati rice and cook until it is 70% cooked. Drain and set aside.
3. **Prepare the Biryani Base:**
– Heat ghee or oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and fry until golden brown.
– Add chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and oil begins to separate.
– Add the marinated mutton to the pan and cook until the mutton is browned and partially cooked.
4. **Layer the Biryani:**
– In a separate bowl, mix the partially cooked rice with chopped coriander and mint leaves.
– Layer the mutton mixture and rice alternately in the bamboo tubes, starting with the mutton and ending with a layer of rice.

#### **Chef’s Tip:**
For an enhanced flavor, you can smoke the mutton with a piece of hot charcoal before layering it with rice in the bamboo tubes.
