Drain the mutton stock and set aside this is to be used later to prepare biryani. Add only required water do not add excess water. Heat Ghee in a Pan.

Drain the water and add the rice in to the pressure cooker and saute for 1 min. Add the pressure cooked mutton kheema. Add 1 cup of water or the mutton stock reserved in step 1.

Tips:

Washing mutton kheema is tricky. Wash muttom kheema and drain excess water using a fine muslin cloth
Add Mutton stock instead of water gives nice taste to the biryani.
Soaking rice in water makes it soft so do not omit this step.
I haved added only 1 green chilli for spice. Garam Masala can be added for more flavour.
