Cooking is like LOVE._x000D_ You must enter it with abandon or not enter at all._x000D_ And cooking with LOVE provides food for the soul... Anonymous._x000D_ The mutton biryani cooked in the classic dum style is a little bland when compared to the spice levels and is nothing like the hot spicy Andhra biryani. Nevertheless is a food for the authentic Indian soul who loves Biryani any way

  • Layer out the mutton mixture and rice and give a gentle stir. Remember  to avoid over stirring as this will break down the basmati grain and reduce its flaky texture. Pour over the excess fatty oil collected in a separate bowl and simmer it for 10mins by covering it with a lid sealed with chapati dough
