Mutton Tahari Recipe Hyderabadi,Tehari

Mutton Tahari recipe or mutton tehari or tehri are all mixed version of biryani or pulao/pilaf or rice recipes. This is also a popular hyderabadi recipe.

           Tahari is usually  a mixed rice recipe usually mixed with either mutton or vegetables. It can also be named as mutton rice recipe.

                        Mutton Tahari or tehari in this post is rice mixed with mutton or meat and cooked in some aromatic and flavorful spices. Teheri recipe or tahari recipe is something which can take its level below biryani and above Pulao or bagara khana.

                                                    This rice recipe here is made with mutton pieces and aloo/potato which are cooked well and added to rice.

                       Tahari is not only a famous Hyderabadi recipe but also popular all over the world and was popular with the muslim nawabs. Tehari can also be made using vegetables like veg tahari but has variations compared to hyderabadi veg biryani which is made differently by giving dum.

                          Rice recipes are very common in India especially down south and most of us are not familiar with the term ‘tahari’ or ‘tehari’ and therefore, I have decided to spread a word about this dish through my blog and create awareness about different recipes and their terms .

                         When there is no time for biryani and you would like to make something delicious then this pulao recipe or rather I prefer calling it as tahari recipe can be made with less time.

                          It is a simpler version of biryani recipe and one of the popular dishes in Hyderabad. Tehari can be made with either ordinary rice or basmati rice. It tastes awesome with any rice.

                           Worried about the side dish with Tehari ? ???  Then below  is the ans!!!

Side Dish For Mutton Tahari Recipe:

It simply goes best with any raita be it cucumber raita or onion raita or boondi raita etc….

It can also be eaten with onion raita recipe. Hyderabad is a land of amazing recipes and delicious food items from simple rice recipes to kebabs, biryani, pulao etc… and I would love to share this recipe and receive feedback from my viewers and comments after trying it out.

                         I usually prefer making tehari or tahari recipe with ordinary rice as I find that tasty especially for tahari  …but here in this post I go with basmati rice.

                      The tahari can be pressure cooked or slowly cooked in a cooking pot. We have to be a bit careful with the water as adding too much of water will not keep the rice loose.

           In this post I will take you through a method where I cooked Tahari in an electric cooker but you can do the same in a cooking vessel.

Notes

1.After pressure cooking the curry, if you find water content in it then reduce the glasses of water when adding water into the rice while cooking.
2.If too much of water is added then rice may not be free and loose.
3.If there is no water content in the curry, then simply double the quantity of water as with the quantity of rice.
4.If 1 cup of rice is used then add two glasses of water.
5.If one does not use electric cooker then simply mix soaked rice and mutton curry with water into a cooking vessel and cook until rice is done.
