What is Mutton Biryani ?

​​Mutton biryani is a mixed rice dish that is made by cooking various Indian spices in different steps and ingredients. To finish the dish, everything is either mixed together or layered together and cooked till serving. Mutton biryani can be made in the pulav form by cooking rice with the mutton or it can also be like a Hyderabadi biryani. In this biryani, cooked mutton and half cooked rice are layered in a dish with other aromats (sometimes also topped with eggs) covered and sealed to form a dum. This biryani is kept in a dum till it is ready to serve and is served inside the utensil it has been cooked in.
