Mutton Biryani

Mutton biryani is such a tasty dish, and almost every one's loves it. They are usually served with raita and brinjal curry.So.... here is the recipe.......

Ingredients :

* Mutton - ½ kg (chopped)
* Onion - 2 (chopped finely)
* Tomato - 3-4 chopped
* Green chilly - 2 (chopped length wise)
* Ginger & Garlic Paste - 3 tsp
* Turmeric Powder - ½ tsp

* Bay leaves - 2
* Cinnamon Stick - 2 pieces
* Oil - 6-7 spoons
* Ghee - 2 spoons
* Mint leaves - little (cleaned and chopped)
* Coriander leaves - little (cleaned and chopped)

Preparation :

Mutton has to be pressure cookered ( Because it is hard compared to chicken, so cannot be added as chicken directly). In UK, mutton is really hard, so it has to be pressure cooked atleast for 9 -11 whistle. well........ now put the cleaned mutton in the pressure cooker, then add little chilly, powder, turmeric powder, ginger & garlic paste and mix everything well by adding enough water and pressure cooker it.

* Take a heavy bottomed vessel or even pressure cooked will be good.
* Heat the vessel, add Ghee and oil to it. Now add the cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamans and bay leaves.
* Then add the chopped onion and fry till golden brown.
* Add green chilly and fry for some times.
* Now add the chopped tomato and fry well ( tomato has to be fried very well)
* Then add the Ginger and Garlic Paste and fry well.
* Now add the cooked mutton and stir well. Add turmeric powder, chilly powder, Dhaniya powder, little of chopped mint and coriander leaves and stir well.
* Now add water in 1: 2 ratio (i.e – if two tumbler rice, add 4 tumbler of water)
* Let the water boil. When it is boiling well add the basmathi rice and salt. Stir well.
* Keep the lid closed. If you are doing in pressure cooker , then don’t put the wait for the lid.
* Open now-and-then, and keep stiring.
* When rice is semi- cooked add the garam masala and rest of the mint and coriander leaves and close the lid.
* When the rice is cooked, close the lid and put on the wait and switch off the stove immediately.

( If you are cooking in some other heavy bottomed vessel, keep the vessel closed with suitable
lid and keep another vessel filled with cold water over the plate. )

Garnish snd Serve hot………

  8. Hey, Subhashini, i am sure you will love the dish. If you are doing with chicken, you need not pressure cooker it. You can use it directly. Hope you enjoy the dish, let me know the feedback.......
