2 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 star anise
3 green cardamom
1/2 kilograms mutton
2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cup milk
2 cup basmati rice
10 clove
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon mace powder
2 black cardamom
3 teaspoon ghee
4 tablespoon refined oil
1 pinch saffron
1 large onion

2 teaspoon crushed to paste cashews
4 teaspoon yoghurt (curd)
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 teaspoon red chilli powder
1 pinch garam masala powder
How to make Lucknowi Mutton Biryani
Step 1
To make the garam masala, dry roast all the whole spices. Once they are roasted, transfer them to a masala grinder and grind them finely. Simultaneously, wash the basmati rice and drain excess water. Boil the rice in double the amount of water and remove from fire and drain till it is half done.
Step 2
For mutton marination, to half kg mutton, add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric and chilli powder. Then add cashew nut paste, garam masala, curd and whisk it. Cover it with a lid and put it in the refrigerator for an hour. This process is important to allow the flavour of spices to infuse in the mutton.
Step 3
Thinly slice the onion and deep fry it in some oil and keep aside. Now, let the meat come to room temperature. Season the meat with salt. Add ghee and oil in the handi. Once it is sufficiently hot, transfer the marinated meat from the bowl to the handi.
Step 4
Stir and cook the meat for a few minutes on high flame, till it is roasted. Cover with the lid and simmer it for another half an hour. Meanwhile, add saffron to the milk and mix well so that the saffron releases its colour and aroma in the milk. Now layer the mutton with cooked rice and add the saffron-milk mixture.
Step 5
Add a little salt, garam masala, fried onions and the remaining ghee over it. Add mace powder and mix well. Cover the handi with the lid and weight it down with something heavy. Keep the flame low. Cook for about half an hour. Serve it hot with raita or salad of your choice. You can also serve it with shorba.
