How to make Mutton Biryani

Learn how to make Mutton Biryani with the step by step pictures to help you. This biryani is made with Seeraga Samba Rice with ground masala.

Weekend means a biryani for the kids and we can’t disappoint them. Moreover, we find making biryani much easier to meet their liking than plan for other dishes they would prefer. Making a gravy and wondering if they will have rice or chapati with it, is another big question for us.

When I planned for this Thali, I decided some pulusu with peanut will be a great add to the thali and it also makes the Vegetarians happy. The meun had Andhra Style Mutton Curry, Peanut Kara Pulusu and to make it more interesting some Potato Chips

Finally some fried bread slices soaked in sugar syrup that we call as Bread Kaja, the instant one to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Since the Mutton gravy is served on the side, we made a simple version with coconut milk and spices. Overall, everybody loved the thali and I loved my clicks. It’s a tough task for me to clicks pictures at Amma’s place. However, its tougher to get everything to my studio. With all the limitation, I loved these clicks.

For Day 7 in the Regional Cuisines, I have this Mutton Biryani to share, while its a Vegetarian Thali on SYL.
