Authentic Juiciest Mutton Biryani Recipe
Experience the authentic juiciest mutton biryani, slow-cooked to perfection with fall-apart tender mutton, fragrant basmati rice, and an irresistibly rich blend of spices. This biryani is the ultimate indulgence, bringing the flavors of traditional dum-cooked biryani straight to your kitchen.
Ingredients
For Mutton Masala
1 kg mutton (bone-in, tender & juicy)
3 onions (thinly sliced, golden fried)
1 cup oil (for deep flavor)
3 tbsp yogurt (for richness)
Fresh coriander leaves (for aroma)
3 tomatoes (chopped, for depth)
Mint leaves (for freshness)
A pinch biryani color (red, for vibrancy)
Spices for Mutton Masala
1 tsp cumin seeds (for depth)
1 tsp coriander powder (adds warmth)
1/4 tsp nutmeg & mace (jaifal javitri, for a royal touch)
Salt (as per taste)
1 tsp biryani masala (grind phoole badiyan, choti ilaichi, kali mirch, dhaniya, zeera)
For Boiling Rice
3 cups basmati rice (long-grain, aromatic)
4-5 cloves (for warmth)
1 liter water
1 star anise (for a bold flavor)
Salt (as per taste)
Fresh mint leaves (for freshness)
Instructions
A deep pot with hot oil sets the stage for golden-fried onions. Once crispy, mutton joins the mix, searing until it develops a rich brown color. Tomatoes and yogurt blend in, coating the meat in a velvety spiced sauce. As the gravy thickens and oil separates, fresh coriander, mint, and a hint of red biryani color elevate the aroma.
Another pot brims with boiling water, infused with salt, cloves, mint, and star anise. Basmati rice simmers until 70% cooked, drained just in time to preserve its signature fluffiness.
Layering begins—juicy, spice-infused mutton nestled beneath fragrant rice, each layer kissed with fried onions and a drizzle of oil. A tight lid traps the steam for a 20-25 minute dum cooking session, allowing the flavors to fuse into perfection. Once ready, the biryani is gently fluffed and served piping hot.
Tips for the Juiciest Mutton Biryani
- High-quality basmati rice ensures fluffy, long grains that don’t clump.
- Slow-cooking mutton guarantees ultimate tenderness in every bite.
- Resting the biryani for 10 minutes post-cooking lets the flavors deepen.
