Step 1 – Mutton Marination:

Let’s start with marinating the mutton. All you’ve to do is take 1kg of mutton in a bowl and add the following ingredients. Add 1 tbsp of ginger garlic paste, 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, 1 tsp of chilly powder, 1/2 cup of curd, some mint leaves, and mix it well. Marinate it for 2 hours or at least 30 minutes.

Step 2 – Making Mutton Paste:

Take a mixie jar. Add one handful of mint leaves, one handful of coriander leaves, two green chilly, one piece of sliced ginger, 10 to 20 garlic cloves, and blend them to make a fine masala paste. Keep this stuff aside.

Take 3 cups of seerasamba rice in another bowl. Wash and soak it in water for 30 minutes.

Step 3 – Preparing Mutton Biryani:

Pour 4 tbsp of oil into a pressure cooker and put 2 tbsp of ghee in it. Keep the flame at medium heat. Add two cinnamon, one star anise, and two cardamoms into it.

Then add two cloves, one bay leaf, and fry till it turns aromatic. Put three sliced onions, required salt, and saute well until it gets golden brown color.

Pour the ground masala paste, and cook till the raw smell disappears. Add 1.5 tsp of chilly powder, 3 tsp of garam masala, and cook for a minute. Let’s add three finely chopped tomatoes and saute well until it turns soft and mushy.

It’s time to show the marinated mutton in the picture. Add it along with the required salt, and mix it well for 2-3 minutes. Pour 1 cup of water, cover the cooker with weight and cook for 5-6 whistles. Check whether the mutton is well cooked.

Add the soaked rice and mix it gently. Add 1.5 cups of water for 1 cup of rice. As we added 1 cup of water for mutton already, add 3 cups of water and juice of one lemon. Put the required salt for rice this time. Cover it with a lid and cook for 10 minutes with medium heat. Stir it occasionally to avoid burning. Mix it right after 10 minutes.

You are at the end of this process. Spread 1 tsp of ghee over the rice, cover it again, and simmer for 20 minutes. Place the preheated tawa on top of it. Put some hot water over it. Let it rest for another 30 minutes. Seeraga Samba Mutton Biryani is ready. Serve it with Raitha and Brinjal gravy!
