Chicken/Mutton Biryani Recipe

THE METHOD

Let's make it.

1. 01

   Cook basmati rice until 70% done. Drain and set aside.

2. 02

   Marinate chicken/mutton with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, half of the fried onions, mint, coriander, Qureshi's Biryani Masala, and salt for 1-2 hours.

3. 03

   Heat oil/ghee in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add marinated meat and cook for 10-15 minutes on medium heat.

4. 04

   Layer half of the partially cooked rice over the meat. Top with remaining fried onions, mint, and coriander.

5. 05

   Layer the remaining rice, saffron milk (if using). Cover tightly and cook on low heat (dum) for 25-35 minutes (chicken) or 40-50 minutes (mutton).

6. 06

   Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before gently fluffing and serving.
