This is one type where the meat, rice and potatoes all are cooked separately.

Directions:
Preparing the Meat:

Mutton 5 lbs
Onion 2 big ones
Ginger 2 teaspoons
Nutmeg & Mace 0.5 teaspoons
Cinnamon Stick 2 one inch pieces
White cardamom and clove (laung) 15-20
chili powder 1-1/2 teaspoons
Yogurt 2.5 cup
Oil 1 cup

Wash the meat and drain all water. Heat oil and add the sliced onion and fry a little bit.
Add everything and fry while stirring. Now add mutton and cook the mutton as it turns soft. Make sure the mixture is not watery.

Preparing the Potatoes:
Potatoes 3 big ones
Cut the potatoes into big pieces. To give it a color, mix with orange color and salt.
Heat oil and fry the colored potatoes.

Preparing the Rice:
Rice 6 cup
Water 11 cup
Oil 0.5 cup
Prunes 8-10
Keora water or Rose water 0.5 teaspoon
Saffron or orange food color very little

Fry the Rice in oil for sometime. Add all the water, salt as necessary and Keoda/Rose water. After 3/4th. water is gone leave it on a very low heat. Add green chili, fried potatoes, and prunes. On top of it add all the cooked meat. Don't mix. Spread little bit of orange color/saffron. Put the lid on for 15-20 minutes on low heat. and you'll know its done when the aroma fills the kitchen.

Serving:

Dig through all the layers while serving to make sure

Talking bout Biryanis, I had lamb biryani at a restaurant called Umerkot, in Koramangala, Bangalore. I must admit, its the best Ive had till date.

Sure nomad, there is one already! In search of the best biriyani..

Something curiously missing from this recipe, Jyoti:

Wash the meat and drain all water. Heat oil and add the sliced onion and fry a little bit.
Add everything and fry while stirring. Now add mutton and cook the mutton as it turns soft. Make sure the mixture is not watery.

I'm curious: Is the meat cut into bits? Minced? Or is it a 5-lb leg of mutton?
