    Muslim Style Mutton Biryani Recipe

    I made this few days back for a get together with few relatives. They all loved it so much and enjoyed it to the core. I thought of sharing this recipe in this blog for this ramzan but got a little busy with my sister wedding preparation. So i am sharing it now.

    Is there any special dish than a biryani on a special day. I think NO..I love biryani, You can see my love for biryani through this link..I have posted quite a few biryani recipes in my blog. This is my second mutton biryani recipe, the first one is a dum style.. After posting that, i wanted to try a simple pressure cooker style biryani, and finally i made it. It turned out so yummy and flavourful. So with no more delay, off you go to the recipe..

      Hi, Aarthi I love your recipes and have tried as well. However, this recipe is not Biryani... this is called Mutton Pulav! This is made by us at least once in a week.

          Biriyani originates from the muslims of the subcontinent, this might be channi biriyani, not Muslim style Biriyani!!

        Wash the rice atleast 2-3 times to remove all the starch. Soak for atleast 5mins after washing then drain all water. Mushy rice is always due to not washing the rice enough as the starch remains within the rice and makes it super mushy while cooking. This recipe is perfect. Do try again.

      A quick clarification, to toast and grind is it 3 cinnamon sticks, 15 cardamon and 1 tablespoon cloves?

      Attempted it a month ago. Received good reviews despite a bit of hiccups randomly when following recipe, noted it that didn't flow with the pictures. It turned out yummy.

        3 times made it and it has come out superb! The last time I made with chicken and in a large pot instead of pressure cooker& it still came out too good! This is now my go- to biryani recipe as it has come out excellent! This is EXACTLY bai biryani from chennai!

        Note: the garam masala I eventually realized after readjng the recipe few times was the roasted whole spices grinded.
        This recipe is just too tooooooooooo good!!! Home memories! Especially when I used to wait for ramzan for my muslim friends to send some biryani lol!
