Mutton biriyani is an Indian famous biriyani recipe, which is a perfect fusion taste and aroma. This easy non-vegetarian biriyani recipe is prepared with rice and boiled mutton with whole spices and ground spices like shahi biriyani masala powder, meat masala powder.

Mutton dum biriyani recipe is a different variation of mutton biriyani where the mutton is dum cooked and is almost similar to Hyderabad biriyani. The dum biriyani here is kachhi yakhni style of making biriyani which does not require a long time to marinate. It can be quickly made with a short marination time using a meat tenderizer.

The recipe follows a method of adding marinated mutton at the base of a cookpot and over the mutton, a layer of half-cooked rice is added and the whole set up is placed for dum that is cooked inside steam. Biriyani is all about spices and flavoured and a mix of many ingredients. Biriyani making appears to be a long process but I feel making biriyani is the easiest and simple once we get hold of the technique in making it.
