Mutton Biryani | How to make Mutton Briyani step by step | Sunday Special Recipes

Akila — Tue, 10 Mar 2015 04:47:00 +0000

Mutton Biryani or Lamb Biryani has become famous now a days in our home. I used to buy mutton in India, but after coming to Singapore, we do not get good mutton, near by our place and so stopped cooking mutton. But one of my friend suggested to buy mutton from Mustafa and tried it. It was soft and got cooked properly. So started buying from there, whenever we go for shopping. This Mutton Biryani I tried last week and it was perfect. Do try this at home and drop your comments.

Mutton soup is one of my childhood favorite soup in non veg next to Nandu Soup / Nandu Rasam. Once my father met with an accident and got none fracture. That time my mother used to give him the Aatukaal soup daily. During that time only I am used to the mutton soup. My mom do not add any corn flour or any starch powder to the soup to make it thicken and so the soup would be thin and I love the taste most. So let’s see the preparation of the mutton soup.
