Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Lamb

    In a bowl, combine the lamb, yogurt, biryani masala, garlic, ginger, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

  3. 3

    Cook the Lamb

    In a large pot, heat cooking oil or ghee over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown. Add the marinated lamb and cook until browned.

  4. 4

    Add Tomato and Spices

    Stir in the chopped tomato and whole spices. Cook for another 5 minutes until the tomato softens.

  5. 5

    Cook the Rice

    Add the drained rice to the pot and mix well with the lamb. Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once done, fluff the biryani with a fork. Garnish with chopped cilantro and mint leaves before serving.
