The recipe, which sounds tasty and with interesting presentation, seems incomplete. How long should one keep the assembled rice in the oven before serving? Doesn''t it need to be overturned onto a serving platter? I have done that before with another rice recipe. Namaste.

Tarla Dalal    Hello, Apologies for the recipe error. We have now rectified it. Cover with an aluminium foil and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°C(400°F) for 15 minutes. There is no need to overturn onto a serving platter. You can just pick up different layers together just like we do in biryani.
