Mutton Dum Biryani with Crispy Onions
Bone-in mutton marinated in yogurt and spices cooks slowly beneath layers of long-grain rice until the meat is meltingly soft. The sealed pot traps every drop of aroma, and a heap of crunchy fried onions crowns the finished plate.
Test kitchen note: Marinate the mutton overnight and use raw papaya paste if the cut is tough; it tenderizes without turning the meat mushy.
