The rich and varied cuisine of India results in more than one way in which a dish can be made. Take biryani, for instance.
The one-pot rice dish has several variations. If you want to have mutton biryani, here are some regional varieties that you cannot miss.
If the spiciest cuisine of the world is offering you a plate of biryani, it is definitely not for the faint-hearted. The tender mutton mixed with hot spices gives it the delicious flavour.
Any biryani from Kolkata is known for its special ingredient i.e. potatoes. The mutton paired with diced and fried potatoes as well as boiled egg is the specialty of this one.
The royal kitchens of Awadh speak volumes about its rich culinary heritage. This mutton biryani is the prestige of Lucknow, filling the streets with its aroma till date.
Any discussion on biryani is incomplete without Hyderabad. The long-grain rice layered with mutton and slow-cooked on dum is what makes it distinct.
Heard of coastal biryanis before? Malabar, a region in Kerala, is well-known for its biryanis and curries. The addition of curry leaves and coconut shavings adds a coastal touch to it.
