I have never seen anyone making Biryani in a flat pan. Looks more like Tawa rice . . . .

Hello Aarthi!
Many many thanks for posting your recipes! I always turn to your blog when I want to learn how to cook something new.
Regarding this recipe of Vegetarian Biryani - yogurt is written down in the instructions, but I cannot find it in the ingredients. How much yogurt should I use?
Thank you, Aarthi!
