Notes

  • Always place a skillet/tava between the cooking utensil and the flame while giving dum as doing so prevents the marinade from sticking to the base of the vessel while cooking.
  •  Quantity of the spices can be increased if more spicy flavor is required.
  • Marinating the mutton for a longer time brings out a taste into the mutton as well.
  • If the biryani is cooked for 3-4 members just reduce the quantity of ingredients into half which are mentioned in the recipe.
  • If it is made for lesser members then a small handi can be used to make the dum mutton biryani.
  • Instead of sealing the cooking utensil with a dough, a heavy weight too can be placed on the cooking pot while giving dum as placing a heavy weight too can prevent the steam from coming out.
