Putting things in the right order is important when cooking meat meals in a rice cooker. When making biryani, the rice should go on top of the meat so it doesn't get too done. A lot of electric rice cookers have a setting for browning or sautéing. To improve the taste, use this function to cook the garlic, onions, and spices before adding the meat and liquids.
Each cut of meat needs a different amount of time to cook through; this is something to keep in mind. If the meat is tough, like mutton, you might need to add a second turn or cook it for a little longer. When cooking rice meals with meat, keep an eye on the amount of liquid. If there is too much liquid, the rice will be soupy. If there is not enough, the rice will be dry.
Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is made with layers of fragrant rice, juicy chicken, and rich spices. In the past, rice was cooked in a big pot or a pressure cooker. An electric rice cooker makes the process easier. For a few hours, put the chicken in yoghurt with spices like chilli powder, ginger, and garam masala. This is the key. Start by cooking onions and whole spices like cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom in the rice cooker. Then add the chicken that has been marinating and the rice. Add the rice on top, and then cook everything at the same time. The end result is a tasty biryani made in one pot with soft chicken and properly cooked rice.
Mutton Pulao

After the meat has browned, add the wet basmati rice, stock, and any other spices you want. If you let the cooker finish its run, you'll end up with a comforting, fragrant pulao with soft rice and tender lamb. This dish is great for holidays or meals with the family.

Adobo Pork
This is a Filipino dish and the Filipino love it because it has savoury, sour, and slightly sweet flavours all at the same time. First, brown the pork belly pieces in your electric rice cooker with garlic and onions. Put in black pepper, vinegar, soy sauce, and bay leaves. Let it cook on low heat for a while, so the pork can get soft and soak up all the flavours. The rice cooker speeds up and simplifies the cooking process. The adobo will be juicy and flavourful, perfect for eating with steamed rice.
Lamb Kofta Curry
Spiced lamb meatballs are cooked in a tasty tomato-based gravy to make this curry. Make meatballs out of ground lamb, garlic, ginger, chopped onions, cumin, coriander, and chilli powder. Then put the meatballs in an electric rice cooker. They will get a little brown in the rice cooker, then take them out and set them away. Next, make the curry sauce by adding cream, garam masala, turmeric, and onions to a pan and cooking them. While the rice is cooking, put the koftas back into the sauce and let everything cook together. With the meatballs soaking up the sauce, you'll have a hearty dish that goes well with rice.

Fish Biryani is a tasty alternative to standard meat biryanis and it is also lighter. Place onions, garlic, and ginger in a rice cooker. Add spices like garam masala and coriander powder and cook until the onions are soft. Add the rice, yoghurt, and mint leaves slowly, along with pieces of fish like basa or kingfish. After putting everything in the rice cooker, add water or fish stock. The fish will add its delicate flavour to the rice as it cooks in the rice cooker, making a delicious one-pot meal.
