MUTTON BIRIYANI


Ingredients
For Mutton/Lamb
Mutton/Lamb- 1 kg
Oil-2 tablespoons
Onions thinly sliced- 3 big
Turmeric powder- 1/4 teaspoon
Green Chillies- 13 ground to a fine paste (you can adjust according to your heat tolerance)
Ginger- Garlice paste- 3 tablespoons
Tomatoes thinly sliced- 3 big
Lime juice of 3 limes
Coriander leaves- 1/4 cup
Mint leaves- few tablespoons (Optional)
Garam Masala Powder- 3/4 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Few pinches of Garam Masala for garnish
For Rice
Biryani Rice/Jeerakashaala rice- 3 cups
Ghee/ Clarified Butter- 3 tablespoons
Cashewnuts-8
Raisins- 1 tablespoon
Thinly sliced Onion- 1
Boiled water- 4-1/2 cups
Rose water/ Gulab jal- few drops
Method
Heat a pan/utensil and add ghee. When hot, saute the cashew nuts, raisins and onions separately till they turn golden brown. Drain and keep aside. In the remaining ghee, lightly toast the rice. Add boiled water and salt. Cover with lid and cook on low flame till its 3/4 cooked.
In another pan, heat oil. When the oil is hot, add onion along with 1/4 teaspoon salt and saute for a while. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat. Stir in between to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan. Once the onions turn pink, add turmeric, chilli paste, ginger-garlic paste, sliced tomatoes and lime juice. Mix well, cover and cook on low heat. Once all the ingredients are well blended, add cleaned and washed mutton with salt and stir well. There is no need to add water. Cook on low heat with the lid on, till the mutton is 3/4 cooked. Take off the lid and let it cook till there is no more liquid. Add garam masala powder and coriander leaves and take off the heat.
Layering
If you want to have some colour to the biryani, take a bowl of cooked rice and divide into two. Add yellow colour into one part and red colour into the other. Mix well and keep aside.
Take a utensil and spread a layer of rice topped with some lamb. Sprinkle a pinch of garam masala powder. Put another layer of rice, followed by mutton. Continue the process and finish off with a top layer of rice. Arrange in a dish and garnish with the fried cashewnuts, raisins, onions and chopped leaves.And dum for 10 minutes.
