Gosht / Mutton Biryani

Wow I just found this in my folder, I will improvise what i have and this is how it goes.

We need:

Red Chillies

Cashewnuts

Onions

Mutton

pudina

coriander leaves

saffron

lime juice

garam masala powder

ghee



- Roast Red chillies and kajoos

- Blend Red chillies and kajoos into a fine paste.

- Marinate meat with ginger garlic paste and yogurt.

- Deep fry onion rings / sliced onions until golden brown.

- Chop pudina and coriander leaves.

- Keep lemon juice, garam masala and saffron ready.

- Heat the cooker or a pan, add little oil from the deep fried onions, fry the blended paste of red chillies and kaju, add mutton, and 1/4 of the deep fried onions, garam masala and salt to taste.

- Add water and pressure cook or if you are cooking in the pan, cook until the mutton is tender.

- Once done separate the mutton from the gravy. You can use it as sherva on the side for the biryani.

- Meanwhile get the rice ready, half cook it.

- Line a dish with ghee and start layering with mutton, rice, pudina, coriander leaves, lemon juice, garam masala, deep fried onions, saffron. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and seal tight with the lid, make sure there's no room for steam to go.

- Cook / Dum for 20 minutes in the oven at 350.

Let me know if you have another easier way to make biryani.
