Today I am sharing how I make the most perfect layered instant pot chicken keema biryani or mince meat biryani. You won't need any other pot for this method of making this layered Biryani as everything from boiling rice to cooking biryani masala to layering is done in the instant pot. Not only that but you can also use this method to make perfect steamed rice in instant pot.
