Recipe Summary Lamb (Gosht) Biryani

Biryani is a bit of a project and is time-consuming, but I have never been disappointed with the results. Since it is such a festive dish, I usually make it for dinner parties. It is a huge hit.

Ingredients | South Indian Lamb Biryani Recipe

2 ½ cups basmati rice

¼ cup cooking oil

8 whole cloves

4 black cardamom pods

4 cinnamon sticks

4 large onions, sliced thin

1 tablespoon garlic paste

1 tablespoon ginger paste

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves

1 pound lamb chops

salt to taste

3 tomatoes, chopped

4 green chile peppers, halved lengthwise

2 teaspoons ground red pepper

2 tablespoons plain yogurt

2 tablespoons lemon juice

7 ½ cups water

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 onion, sliced

½ teaspoon saffron

2 tablespoons warm milk

Directions

Place the basmati rice in a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 30 minutes. Drain.

Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat; fry the cloves, cardamom pods, and cinnamon sticks in the hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the onions; cook and stir until the onions are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir the garlic paste and ginger paste into the onion mixture; cook until the garlic and ginger is fragrant, about 1 minute more. Sprinkle the cilantro and mint over the mixture and cook 1 minute more.

Add the lamb chops to the skillet; season with salt. Cook and stir the lamb until the meat begins to brown, about 20 minutes.

Stir the tomatoes, green chile peppers, and ground red pepper into the mixture; continue cooking until the oil begins to separate from the gravy, about 10 minutes. Add the yogurt and lemon juice; cover and cook until the lamb is tender, about 15 minutes. Add water as needed to keep the mixture from getting too dry.

Bring the rice, 7 1/2 cups water, and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil in a saucepan until the rice is nearly done yet a little chewy, 10 to 15 minutes; drain any excess water.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet; fry the sliced onion in the hot oil until lightly browned.

Layer about half the rice in the bottom of a deep pot with a lid. Spoon the lamb masala over the rice. Spread the fried onion over the lamb masala. Top with the remaining rice. Stir the saffron and warm milk together in a small bowl; pour over the top layer of rice. Cover the pot with the lid and place the pot over low heat; cook until the rice is thoroughly cooked, about 15 minutes.
