🍚 You can either press the rice grains between the forefinger and thumb. While pressing the rice grains should break into half.

🍚Switch Off the fire and strain out all the water.

🍚set it aside.


How to cook the Mutton:

1️⃣Clean and wash the mutton,add it to a bowl

2️⃣Add to the meat Salt,ginger and garlic paste,Chili powder,curd,turmeric powder Coriander powder,Cumin powder,lemon juice,Mix it well and keep it aside.

3️⃣Heat the oil or Ghee in the pressure cooker or pan.Use a large heavy bottom pot to make the Biriyani.

When the ghee is hot add the onions

fry them stirring often until uniformly light brown On a medium heat.

4️⃣Add the whole spices followed by the chopped tomatoes.

5️⃣Add the Marinated Mutton.add 2 cups water or more to cover the mutton completely.close with the lid and cook until the meat is tender.

6️⃣If 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.

7️⃣Meantime soak the rice.

8️⃣Add the potatoes to the cooked meat and cook for 5 minutes.dry up any excess water to get a thick gravy.


Layering the rice and the cooked Mutton:


1️⃣Add the half cooked and strained rice on top of the mutton curry,spread it uniformly,sprinkle some fried onions,coriander leaves,Food colour powder on top Of the rice.close with a tight lid.

2️⃣Cook in very low heat.

3️⃣For 15 minutes or until the water is dry.this tends to infuse all the lovely biriyani flavor into the rice as it steams.

4️⃣Mix  the rice and Mutton evenly.

🌺🌺Serve with Raita or Onion salad If you want boil some egg.

🌺I didn’t add Coriander leaves,I used 

dried coriander leaves.

🌺I served with cucumber salad and Maldive fish sambol.

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.
