I make dum biryani often these days. And i have a hyderabadi mutton biryani recipe already in this blog. But i want to share a simple dum biryani recipe and here it is..Dont judge by the word easy and simple, it taste really close to a perfect dum biryani. This recipe has become my favourite..

In this biryani, there are no spice powders and other stuffs. The main flavouring is the whole spices, ghee, brown onions, herbs and mutton and ofcourse the rice. So use the best basmati rice for this, i always use india gate classic for my biryani recipes and it work perfectly.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
