Achari Mutton Dum BiryaniAchari Mutton Dum Biryani
#bandhan - Biryani is universally popular. I gave a twist to the original recipe by adding some bottled garlic pickle masala. This gave the Biryani a slightly different flavour. It turned out simply awesome with a hint of achari taste. Serve this yummy one-pot delicacy with some raita, sliced onion and lemon.
Hyderabadi Murg Dum Biryani (Kacchi Style)Hyderabadi Murg Dum Biryani (Kacchi Style)
#reststyle Hyderabadi biryanis are subtle in taste and totally delicious! Hyderabadi Murg Dum Biryani in kacchi style is one such absolutely flavourful biryani.Biryani is prepared in two ways, one where the meat is fully cooked before dum which is called akhni ki biryani and the other where the meat is just marinated overnight and used raw in the dum process which is called kacchi ki biryani. The rice to be used in this case is presoaked and half cooked.Here I have presented the kacchi ki biryani which actually tastes absolutely delicious and subtle. I have always loved this type of biryani and just recently after I had the opportunity to taste such a biryani at a particular restaurant, I was dying to try it out.Well, it turned out just as I had expected and is one of the best among all the biryanis I have prepared till date. Still, this depends on personal choice, as my family feels that all the other ones I have prepared till date are equally delicious!

If you ask me whats one comfort food that i wont hesitate to eat anyday.. This surely is the one. I mean, C'mon, who doesn't like Biriyani?? A complete meal in itself, has all the aroma that i possibly can imagine.. Just a tempered Raita of your choice, and it's sorted. This has to be my #favourite dish of all. I still remember the day,I made Biriyani for the first time. Gosh, so much nerves I had, I must say . With all those list of ingredients, And num of steps, trick to get the rice "right", Fhewwww... But, I can happily say, I DID IT. Yes, it was a success and since then there was no looking back. Once in a fortnight, I have to make biriyani. That's the demand of my Man, you know. There are various methods of making biriyani.. Everyone must have their signature dish, I believe. Now, this one is mine.

This biryani can be made using any meat or vegetables. It's that kind of a biryani which is totally fuss free, one pot wonder but 10/10 on taste and presentation. Goes best with Onion Raita.
