Hyderabadi Dum Biryani Recipe is again a unique variant of mutton biryani wherein the mutton is dum cooked and is sort of similar to Hyderabadi Biryani and it is also a mutton dum biryani recipe.
This Hyderabadi Dum Biryani Recipe/Hyderabadi Mutton Dum Biryani Recipe/Hyderabadi Yakhni Mutton Dum Biryani Recipe is cooked with the help of the steam itself and cooked on dum with tightly sealed and more spices have been included. Wondering what Yakhni is? Well, Yakhni is the mutton marinade or the masala gravy in the biryani.
Here I have used uncooked papaya paste to tenderize the mutton and did now not marinate the mutton for a long time. The recipe calls for much less time as meat tenderizers help in cooking the biryani speedily and choice of fresh red meat may be very crucial for ideal biryani and fresh biryani.
So here is the mutton dum biryani recipe which does not require endurance and can be cooked pretty much without difficulty simply with the help of a tenderizer. Each biryani recipe calls for fried onions and right here is the recipe on how to fry onions for biryani recipe.
If tenderizer isn’t added and directly placed the biryani for dum then the mutton inside the biryani could continue to be harder. So whilst making mutton biryani in dum technique there are certain factors that have to be kept in thoughts.
Biryani recipes, be it chicken or mutton may be made in various methods and in Hyderabad for the dum technique we are saying as kachchi yakhni biryani or kachche gosht ki biryani and if the mutton is cooked before to make biryani then it is known as pakki yakhni biryani.
Biryani is all about spices and flavour and a combination of many components. Biryani making appears to be a long technique but I feel making biryani is the easiest and easy once we get hang of the method required in making it.
The meat tenderizer makes the mutton so tender that the mutton piece simply melts in your mouth and this is the way the dum biryani is made in hotels and you may purchase meat tenderizers from the marketplace if raw papaya isn’t always available.
