About
Mutton Biryani is a non-veg North Indian dish. It is Not Fried and is traditionally prepared using the dum (slow-cooking) method, which allows the flavors of the spices and tender mutton to deeply infuse into the long-grain basmati rice. This aromatic biryani blends marinated mutton pieces with whole spices like bay leaf, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and star anise, along with fragrant ingredients such as fried onions, mint, and coriander. The mutton is usually slow-cooked until succulent, then layered with partially cooked rice and sealed to cook together. This technique gives the dish its signature richness, deep flavor, and irresistible aroma. Mutton Biryani is typically served with raita, salan, or sliced onions.
