Mutton Biryani | How to make Mutton Briyani step by step | Sunday Special Recipes

Mutton Biryani or Lamb Biryani has become famous now a days in our home. I used to buy mutton in India, but after coming to Singapore, we do not get good mutton, near by our place and so stopped cooking mutton. But one of my friend suggested to buy mutton from Mustafa and tried it. It was soft and got cooked properly. So started buying from there, whenever we go for shopping. This Mutton Biryani I tried last week and it was perfect. Do try this at home and drop your comments.

Notes: 

1. Here you can add onion and tomato before adding mutton pieces also. No harm in it, Since we are going to pressure cook all. 

2. The 6 whistles took around 14 min for me. It might vary based on the cooker and the quality of mutton. if If the mutton is not cooked, add some more water and pressure cook it again for another 7 to 8 min. 

3. Take care while adding salt as the mutton already contsins salt. 

4. Adding butter is optional, but I feel it enhances the taste. Salted or unsalted butter can used. While using salted butter again take care of the salt amount while adding. 

5. I used the mutton cooked water for preparing soup. But my mom used to say if we leave that water in it, the mutton would be more tasty.
