yesss!! real saffron a very nice, distinct smell, my scent-memory always relates it back to my nani's biryani and eid desserts. it's really yummy used in some western recipes too.

answer: I made sure the meat was well cooked before i mix the rice and curry

EDIT: mA my parents lowed except i got some criticism from my mother about the slight mushness of the biryani and they all agreed on how superyummy it was. thankyou islamican cooks

-things i can improve,

may be add some bayleaves+saffron for hot biryani looks

my mom got some mirchis, I am waiting for mirchi salan receipe. please and thankyou
hey, glad it turned out good! the first time making biryani is always about a little bit of trial and error...the first time i made it, i was worried that it would be more like khichuri instead... and it was! it was so hard to salvage. mA seemed like yours fared much better!
