Mutton Dum Biryani
Mutton Dum Biryani is a regal, aromatic rice dish known for its rich flavors, tender meat, and mouthwatering fragrance. In this traditional preparation, succulent pieces of mutton (goat meat) are marinated with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, fried onions, and a blend of warm spices like cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and biryani masala.
The marinated mutton is slow-cooked until tender, then layered with partially cooked, fragrant basmati rice in a heavy pot. Fresh herbs like mint and coriander, along with fried onions and sometimes saffron-infused milk, are added between layers for extra depth and aroma. The pot is then sealed and cooked on low heat (“dum” style), allowing the flavors to infuse perfectly while the rice steams to fluffy perfection.
Served hot with cooling raita, fresh salad, or spicy pickles, Mutton Dum Biryani is an indulgent, comforting feast that delivers a rich blend of spices and melt-in-your-mouth meat in every bite — a true favorite for biryani lovers!
