Can we make it by giving dum over tawa, like we do for dum biryani?

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.
