Hyderabadi Chicken / Mutton Dum Biryani

Hyderabadi Biryani is a very famous Hyderabadi Dish. Gives nice flavor of chicken / mutton. Cooking biryani on dum involves marinated raw chicken and partially cooked rice to be layered and to be cooked on low flame covered with the lid. On opening the lid, the entire house smells fragrant, rich with the reassuring aroma of pure ghee. The chicken / mutton is so well cooked that it simply melts away in the mouth. Though, it is a lengthy process but the taste is worth of going through the elaborated process. I watched many youtube videos and read many sites with this recipe. Finally, i was ready with the recipe by combining the ingredients from all the videos and sites that i felt was suitable. And i gave it a first try on my husband's birthday and it turned out to be the best gift. This recipe can be divided into 3 phases i.e., Gravy Preparation, Rice Preparation and Seasoning. NOTE : Chilies can be added as per your taste. We are marinating Chicken/...
