  • 1 teaspoon of red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon of garam masala powder

For the Rice:

  • 2 cups of basmati rice, soaked for 30 minutes
  • 4 cups of water
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4-5 green cardamom pods
  • 4-5 cloves
  • 1-inch cinnamon stick
  • Salt to taste

For Layering:

  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup of chopped mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup of chopped coriander leaves
  • 1/4 cup of ghee or clarified butter
  • Saffron strands soaked in 2 tablespoons of warm milk

Instructions:

  1. Marinating the Mutton:

    • In a bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, and salt.
    • Add the mutton pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.

  2. Preparing the Rice:

    • In a large pot, bring water to a boil.
    • Add soaked basmati rice, bay leaf, green cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and salt.
    • Cook the rice until it's 70-80% done. Drain and set aside.

  3. Layering the Biryani:

    • In a separate pan, heat ghee over medium heat.
    • Fry the sliced onions until they turn golden brown and crisp. Remove and set aside.
    • In the same pan, add the marinated mutton along with the marinade.
    • Cook until the mutton is tender and the marinade has thickened into a gravy-like consistency.
    • Now, in a large heavy-bottomed pot or handi, spread a layer of cooked rice.
    • Top it with a layer of cooked mutton along with some gravy, followed by a sprinkle of fried onions, chopped mint, and coriander leaves.
    • Repeat the layers until all the rice and mutton are used up, ensuring that the top layer is of rice.
    • Drizzle the saffron-infused milk over the rice.
    • Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low heat for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the rice to fully cook.

  4. Serve:

    • Once done, gently fluff up the biryani with a fork.
    • Serve hot with raita, salad, or your favorite side dish.
