How to cook the Mutton:
1.Clean and wash the mutton,add it to a bowl
2.Add to the meat Salt,ginger and garlic paste,Chili powder,half the fried onion,curd,turmeric powder Coriander powder,Cumin powder,lemon juice,Mix it well and keep it aside.
3.Heat the oil or Ghee in the pressure cooker or pan.
4.Addd the whole spices followed by the tomatoes (ground),Remaining half of the fried onions and the tomato paste.
5.Cook it for one whistle or for 5 minutes and switch off the fire.
6.Add the Marinated Mutton to the tomato mix,add 2 cups water or more to cover the mutton completely.close with the lid and cook until the meat is tender.
7.If you are cooking in the regular pan cook for 30- 40 minutes on low heat until the meat is tender.it will take slightly longer,but the result also will be more tastier.
8.Add salt and little turmeric powder to the potatoes and deep fry it.
9.Add the potatoes to the cooked meat.dry up any excess water to get a thick gravy.

Layering the rice and the cooked Mutton:

1.Add the half cooked and strained rice on top of the mutton curry,spread it uniformly,sprinkle some fried onions,coriander leaves,coloring on top Of the rice.close with a tight lid.
2.Cook in very low heat.
3.For 15 minutes or until the water is dry.this tends to infuse all the lovely biriyani flavor into the rice as it steams.
4.Mix  the rice and Mutton evenly.
🌺🌺Serve with Raita (or salad),Jam,chicken fry(optional)if you want you can boil some egg.
🌺I didn’t add Coriander leaves because I couldn’t get it😀

My name is Rifka Imam. I am a Sri Lankan housewife living in japan. The culinary arts have always intrigued me, even at a young age. But by being a mother of 5, I dedicated more time into perfecting my skills in the kitchen to learn how to cook diverse dishes that catered to all their different tastes. This made me acquainted with dishes from various countries of the world and assorted flavours. My speciality is Indian food, as I love how the spices come together to form a flavourful dish. However, I am also proficient when it comes to Italian, Chinese and Sri Lankan food. When it comes to the sweeter side of cooking, I adore baking and decorating cakes. Having made countless birthday cakes for my children, my skills in cake decorating grew significantly. I hope I bring delight to all your families with my recipes.
