Instructions

Step 1: Marinating the Mutton

1. In a large bowl, mix yogurt, Neyyar Turmeric Powder, Neyyar Chilly Powder, Neyyar Coriander Powder, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and lemon juice.
2. Add the cleaned mutton pieces, coat well, and let it marinate for at least 1-2 hours (preferably overnight for better flavor).

Step 2: Cooking the Rice

1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add bay leaf, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt.
2. Add the soaked rice and cook until 70% done (the grains should still have a bite). Drain and set aside.

Step 3: Preparing the Mutton Gravy

2. Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
3. Add tomatoes and cook until soft.
4. Mix in Neyyar Sambar Powder, Neyyar Chilly Powder, Neyyar Coriander Powder, and garam masala. Stir well.
5. Add the marinated mutton and cook on medium heat until the meat is tender (add water if necessary).
6. Stir in chopped mint and coriander leaves for freshness.

Step 4: Layering the Biryani

1. In a heavy-bottomed pot, layer half of the cooked rice over the mutton gravy.
2. Drizzle half of the saffron milk and some fried onions.
3. Add the remaining rice and top with the rest of the saffron milk, fried onions, and a little ghee.
4. Cover with a tight lid and cook on low heat (dum) for 20-25 minutes.

Step 5: Serving

1. Gently mix the biryani before serving.
2. Garnish with more fried onions, fresh coriander, and mint leaves.
