Answer 4

Well, you might be able to if you use a glass dish and really high heat. (Because ive managed to successfully cook just plain rice in a microwave)

I would mix all the biryani ingredients together (you should cook the meat before hand because i dont know if the heat provided could actually cook meat and rice together.
