Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Mutton
Take 700 grams of mutton meat along with some bones, cut into medium pieces. Add 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tbsp coriander powder, 1/2 tbsp cumin powder, 1 tbsp garam masala, and 1 stock cube. Mix well to coat the mutton evenly and marinate for 1 hour.
Step 2: Sauté Whole Spices
In a hot pan, add 3-4 tbsp oil and 2 tbsp ghee. Add 1/2 tbsp black peppercorns, 8 cloves, 2 black cardamom, 1 mace spice, 2 inch cinnamon stick, 6 green cardamom, and 3 bay leaves. Fry for a few seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Fry Onions and Chillies
Add 3 sliced onions and 4 green chillies to the pan. Fry the onions until they are nice and brown.
Step 4: Cook Tomatoes and Ginger Garlic Paste
Add 2 chopped tomatoes to the pan and fry for a minute. Then add 2 tbsp ginger garlic paste and continue to fry until the tomatoes are nice and soft, and the oil starts to separate.
Step 5: Fry the Mutton
Add the marinated mutton to the pan. Fry the meat for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's well seared and coated with the spices.
Step 6: Cook the Mutton
Add 2 cups of water to the mutton. Cover the pan and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the meat is nice and soft. Give it a nice mix after cooking.
Step 7: Add Rice and Water
Add 2 1/2 cups of basmati rice (washed and soaked for 20 minutes) to the cooked mutton. Give it a nice mix to combine. Then add 4 cups of water, 1 tsp salt, and 6 powdered stock cubes. Mix gently.
Step 8: Add Coriander and Partial Cook
Add a handful of chopped coriander leaves to the rice and mutton mixture. Give it a nice mix. Then cover the pan and cook until the rice is 80 to 90% cooked, and most of the water has been absorbed.
Step 9: Dum Cook the Pulao
Once the rice is 80-90% cooked, cover the pan again and cook it on a low flame until the rice is fully cooked and fluffy. Give it a nice and gentle mix before serving.
