How to make mutton biryani

Mutton biryani

The mutton biryani is the other name for royal biryani in my opinion. The richness in this dish is too much as the aroma itself is enough to tell you whether you can resist it or not. Apart from that the taste is really undeniable and it cannot be eaten without being shared so you better share it before people come and take it from you. Enjoy 


Cooking tip: Before cutting an onion, you can either soak it in water or keep it in the fridge for about 10 minutes so while cutting the onion your eyes don't start watering.

500 grams of mutton cut into 2 inch pieces 

1 1/2 cups basmati rice (soaked)
