Mutton Biryani

 

Mutton Biryani is a delicious dish made from Mutton (meat of lamb or goat) chunks cooked with various spices and Basmati rice. Biryani is used to denote a dish where the rice (plain or fried) is cooked separately from the thick sauce (curry of meat or vegetables). The curry and the rice are then brought together and layered, is then cooked together  resulting in a dish of the contrasting flavors. Traditionally Biryani is served with with salan (gravy) and Raita.
