Tips to make the best Mutton Biryani recipe:
1. Rice: It is recommended to use good quality basmati rice for an authentic biryani taste and flavour. Soak the rice in cold water for about 15 minutes before cooking it. While cooking, do not stir the rice as it breaks the long grains of rice. Cook the rice till it’s 3/4th cooked. It will cook completely when it is getting infused with the flavours of the biryani masala. This ensures that your rice is not overcooked or undercooked and gives you the right consistency.
2. Cooking utensil: Always use a heavy bottom pan so that it doesn’t burn.
3. Dum process: Cover the biryani with an aluminium foil before closing the lid so that it is well sealed and the aroma doesn’t escape. Cook for about 20 minutes on a very low flame.
4. Serving: Carefully remove the aluminium foil and gently mix the biryani so that the rice or the mutton pieces don’t break or become mushy. Serve hot with lemon and onion raita. You can also sprinkle fried golden brown onion before serving the mutton biryani.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How to keep the rice from turning sticky or mushy?
Soak the rice in cold water for 15-20 minutes before cooking. While cooking, add a tsp of ghee or oil to prevent the rice from becoming sticky and also to enhance the flavour.
2. What if my rice is not cooked enough?
The masala gravy has some water content. Add some warm water depending on the quantity of rice and how hard it is during the dum process. This will ensure that the rice is properly cooked by the end.
3. What if my rice is well cooked?
Cook the mutton curry until all the water evaporates. Then add the rice. Also, don’t leave the biryani in the dum for long. Else, the rice may get overcooked and mushy.
4. How long can I store the leftovers?
Use an airtight container to store the mutton biryani for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
