Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Boil Mutton with Spices

   Add 1 kg mutton pieces to a pressure cooker. Then add 2 tablespoons of whole coriander seeds, 1 sliced onion, 2 pieces of cinnamon stick, 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste, 5-6 cloves, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, and 2 bay leaves. Pour in 1 glass of water.

2. 2.Pressure Cook Mutton

   Close the pressure cooker and cook the mutton for 5 whistles on medium heat to ensure it becomes tender. Once cooked, set aside the boiled mutton and its broth.

3. 3.Prepare Biryani Base

   In a separate pressure cooker, heat 1 cup of oil. Add 2-3 sliced onions and fry until they turn golden brown, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4.Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables

   Add 2 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste to the fried onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then, add 3-4 slit green chilies and 2 sliced tomatoes. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

5. 5.Add Potatoes and Mutton

   Add 2 halved potatoes to the cooker. Then, add the previously boiled mutton pieces. Mix everything well and sauté for 5-7 minutes.

6. 6.Season the Masala

   Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of mutton masala powder and 1 tablespoon of homemade garam masala over the mutton and vegetables. Add salt to taste (approximately 2 teaspoons). Mix thoroughly to coat all ingredients with the spices.

7. 7.Add Broth and Water

   Pour in the reserved mutton broth (mutton water) from the boiling process. Add additional water to make a total of 4 glasses of liquid for 2 glasses of rice.

8. 8.Add Rice and Cook

   Add 2 glasses of washed and soaked rice to the cooker. Stir gently to combine the rice with the masala and liquid. Close the pressure cooker and cook for 2 whistles on medium heat. After the whistles, let the pressure release naturally for about 5-10 minutes.

9. 9.Serve Biryani

   Once the pressure is released, open the cooker. Gently fluff the biryani with a spoon. The mutton biryani is now ready to be served, with each grain of rice perfectly cooked and separate.
