Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani | Mutton Biriyani Recipe

Preparation Time: 50 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients :

• 1/2 kg biriyani Rice
• 1/2 kg Mutton cut into pieces
• 5-6 green Cardamom
• 3-4 Cinnamon sticks
• 1 tsp Cumin seed
• 5 Cloves
• 20 gms Ginger
• 10 gms Garlic 
• 2-3 Green Chilies
• 1 medium Onion chopped
• Coriander & Mint Leaves for garnishing
• 1 Lemon cut into wedges
• 3 tbsp Curd
• 1 tsp oil
• 1/2 cup Ghee

Method :

1. Wash mutton and put it in a vessel.
2. Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan and fry chopped onion till golden brown.
3. Grind green chilies, ginger, garlic, spices, fried onion, and mix them all, then add this mixture to the meat.
4. Then add salt and curd to it and mix thoroughly. Keep aside for half an hour.
5. Boil 4 cups of water. When water comes to a boil add the rice. Take out some of the semi-cooked rice and spread it on the meat and spices mixture as a layer. 
6. After 1 minute take some more rice and spread as second layer. 
7. Finally, spread the fully cooked rice once remaing rice is ready.
8. Prepare a mixture of 1/2 cup of boiled water and 1/2 cup ghee and pour over rice.
9. Now cover the vessel with lid and seal the edges with dough. Cook for 15 minutes on medium low flame. Put off from heat.
10. Let it cool a bit for 10 minutes and take off the seal.
11. Take hot hyderabadi biriyani in a serving bowl and garnish it with coriander leaves, mint leaves and lemon wedges.

Note: If you find sealing with dough is tough and you can put some heavy weight over lid. But dough method is more preferable as it ensures no steam coming outside.
