Preparation steps
In a colander, rinse rice under cold running water. Drain.
Cook 1 chopped onion in 2 tablespoons butter until translucent. Stir in rice and sauté about 3 minutes. Add ¼ liter (approximately 1 cup) water. Bring to a boil and simmer about 5 minutes over very low heat (the rice should be only par-cooked). Let stand in order for steam to evaporate. Peel and dice remaining onions. Dice lamb.
Heat remaining butter in a frying pan. Add lamb and sauté. Stir in all ground spices, along with grated ginger, cloves and bay leaves. Stir in onion and sauté about 3 minutes. Stir in peas, tomatoes, yogurt and 250 ml (approximately 1 cup) water. Season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer about 4 minutes more.
Fill the bottom of a shallow pot with half of the rice. Sprinkle with a layer of nuts and raisins, and top with lamb mixture. Drizzle cooking liquid over it and cover with remaining rice.
Cover and simmer about 20 minutes.
Stir the biryani and serve garnished with cilantro leaves.
