• 1 cup almonds, blanched and sliced

 Preparation

• Heat ghee or oil in a large pan and sauté the onions until golden brown.    Remove half of the onions and set aside for garnishing.
• Add the ginger paste, minced garlic, cumin seeds, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and bay leaf to the remaining onions in the pan. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.

• In another pan, heat ghee or oil and sauté the carrots, raisins, and almonds until lightly golden. Set aside.

 Layering and Cooking

• In a deep, oven-safe pot, layer half of the partially cooked rice, followed by half of the cooked mutton, and half of the sautéed carrots, raisins, and almonds.
• Repeat the layering process with the remaining rice, mutton, and sautéed ingredients.
• Cover the pot tightly with aluminum foil or a tight-fitting lid.
• Place the pot in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for 30-40 minutes until the flavors meld together and the rice is fully cooked.
• Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
• Garnish with the reserved caramelized onions.
• Serve hot, allowing the aromas to captivate your senses.
