Details and Ingredients

Mutton Biriyani is a Kerala-style indulgence where tender mutton is marinated in a blend of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and spices, then layered with fragrant Kaima rice. The rice is infused with saffron, ghee, and whole spices like cinnamon, cloves, and star anise, creating a deep, aromatic profile. The mutton is slow-cooked with onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and a mix of turmeric, coriander, red chili powder, and black pepper, enhanced by fresh mint and curry leaves for that unmistakable Kerala flavor. A drizzle of coconut oil adds a coastal richness. Cooked using the dum method, the rice and mutton fuse into a succulent, spiced masterpiece.

Served hot and garnished with fried onions, cashews, and raisins, Mutton Biriyani pairs exquisitely with raita, pickle, or a boiled egg. This dish is a regal showcase of Kerala’s culinary artistry.
