I have shared a detailed step by step method of making this dish. To make this mutton biryani, meat is marinated in curd/ yogurt and spices to tenderize the tough meat. It is then slow cooked until tender to bring out the flavor of meat and spices as well. Then aldente cooked long grain rice is layered over it. This is again dum cooked together. The end results are great – tender, succulent and flavorful mutton biryani rice is ready. It is served with a Raita, Shorba or Salan.

This is served with mint raita, papads and a salan.
