Easy Mutton Biryani is a dish that nobody can ever resist. This biryani recipe has layers of mutton and saffron-milk infused rice cooked 'dum' style. It has a host of spices and herbs such as star anise, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, jaiphal, javitri along with chillies, rose water, kewda and saffron cooked with succulent mutton pieces. Be it a dinner party or any celebratory occasion, biryani seems to be an ideal main dish to serve along with a spicy salan or refreshing raita. This biryani is usually made in two styles, one is kacche gosht ki biryani and the other is pakke gosht ki biryani.
Mix together 11/2 tsp of ginger and garlic paste each, 1/2 cup curd, salt, yellow powder, 1/2 cup of coriander and mint leaves and green chillies without removing the top stalk.
Mix thoroughly well the above mixture with the mutton.
Keep in the refrigerator over night or for at least 2 - 3 hrs.
Cover and cook on a low fire, till the mutton is cooked. Stir occasionally.
When the mutton is being cooked, heat up another big vessel.
Add water, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon sticks and cloves and allow it to boil.
Add rice, salt and another 1/2 cup of mint and coriander leaves.
Cook, till half done and strain the rice.
:- Remember not to overcook the rice.
:- Use a big vessel so that the rice does not stick with one other.
:- Cook, till half done as the rice will get cooked in steam later.
Once the mutton is cooked, there should not be more water in the mutton. If there is more water, then keep the flame high and open the lid and stir.
:- In short, there should be thick gravy with the mutton.
this is a very good recipe only thing we cooked mutton well but rice after half cooking when mixed to the gravy its taking long time to cook well and dry it completely.still its on the stove.
Guests coming in…try this recipe..it was delicious. I tried biryani for the first time and the result was awesome…although marinade time was just half an hour for me…still the outcome was excellent….recommended strongly.
Hi, I tried this recipe. Very tasty and liked it a lot. My family enjoyed it too.The second time I tried, instead of cooking rice seperately, I added the rice with Cardamom, elachi, cinnamon, bay leaf to the half cooked mutton and it came out really good. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
