Hyderabadi Dum Mutton Biryani


There are two traditional methods of preparing the Hyderabadi Biryani.

Kachchi yakhnni Briyani is prepared with raw meat which is marinated in yoghurt and then cooked along with the rice by sealing the handi (vessel) cooked on Dum (slow cook). 

Pakki Aqni ki Briyani (cooked gravy),the meat is cooked before being layered with the rice and cooked in a dough-sealed vessel already cooked before baking.

Great recipe, looks really tempting. I found a similar recipe of Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, where the chef 1st added a layer of the Chicken gravy, with rice on top and then topped it up with a mix of milk infused with saffron strands. Seems really interesting and delicious.

Hi Roha

Can you please tell us whether we need to use iron tawa or any other tawa
Unknown said…
The layering goes like, lowermost layer of mutton, then rice and garnish at the top?

Also, for covering the vessel, one must seal the vessel with aluminium foil or dough and then place a lid on top of this seal?
Unknown said…
What oil other than Canola oil can be used?

Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. I followed it word by word and the result was really pleasing. Everyone in my family liked this delicious Biryani. Initially I was little skeptical on mutton being cooked only after marination and was fearing if it would remain raw. But it turned out to be perfectly cooked. Thanks again!
