Mutton Biryani with its tempting aroma, the beautiful texture of rice and meat, its unbeatable taste, and a sense of satisfaction while eating with your hands give a fulfilling experience to the biryani lovers.

The word Biryani is derived from an amalgamation of Persian words “Birian” and “Birinj” which mean “fried before cooking” and “rice”, respectively. Biryani as a dish is widely enjoyed across different countries from centuries. The dish was brought to India by the Mughals and was further modified in the Mughal kitchen.

It is a dish that is differentiated by the type of meat that is used in it and by the style in which it is prepared. It is a highly debatable topic as to which variety is the best but there is no denying that each one of them has its own distinct flavor.

Mutton biryani, as the name suggests, is made by adding mutton to a scrupulous preparation of rice. The tempting aroma, the beautiful texture of rice and meat, its unbeatable taste, and a sense of satisfaction while eating with your hands give a fulfilling experience to the biryani lovers.

This delicious serving melts in your mouth creating a sense of utmost satisfaction. While mutton biryani is a self-sufficient meal, accompaniments along with it make it more palatable.

Brinjal gravy, also known as Baingan salan/ Bagara baingan goes really well with mutton biryani and adds a distinctive taste to the preparation. Mutton biryani is traditionally a spicier variant of biryani.

Different methods and the plethora of ingredients used in the dish make it versatile and classic. In one of the methods, the mutton is slightly cooked and uncooked rice is added to it and then they are mixed and cooked together.

Another style of preparation has the rice, masala, and meat all cooked individually and then layered one above the other. Garnished with dry fruits and fried onions, eating this biryani will prove it why it was a favorite among the royal Mughals.

Mutton Biryani can be served with buttermilk to keep the stomach cool and the numerous health factors will make you forgive a little overeating. It could be one of the best options for a relaxing weekend brunch. The love for biryani has been there for a long time and it is truly a treat for the taste buds.

Tried this recipe and the Briyani came out so well. Used seeraga samba rice instead of basmati rice. Added, [corriander leaves, mint leaves and green chillies] paste after adding ginger and garlic. Taste was awesome! Thank you for the recipe!
