Step 1
Rinse basmati rice under cold water until water runs clear. Thinly slice the onion.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a large pot over medium-high heat. Fry onion until deeply golden and crispy, ~5 minutes. Set aside.
Step 3
Add remaining ghee to the pot. Brown ground lamb, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in biryani masala, then yogurt. Add rice and stir to coat, 1 minute. Pour in broth.
Step 5
Cover and simmer over medium heat until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, ~10 minutes.
Step 6
Fold in most of the crispy onions and fresh herbs. Top with remaining onions and serve hot.
