Wow! Are you thinking of a Biryani? Then the first thing that flashes in your mind is the Hyderabadi mutton biryani. This dish is an authentic recipe with the elements of Mughlai cuisine mixed with Telangana style. It originated from the historic era of Nizam of Hyderabad where Mughlai and local cuisines were blended together in the Royal Kitchens. Slowly it became part of Hyderabadi Cuisine. Today it is a well known in the entire south Asia particularly in India and Pakistan. It is often served with Bagara Baigan, Mirchi ka salan and Raita.
Indian cuisine is truly extraordinary mainly for its varied range and variety where each region contributes it own flavor and taste. Modern Indian cooking has selectively contributed from these diverse styles and adapts to suit the palate. The Indian cuisine is very popular for its style and methods of cooking and the richness and distinctive flavors. Out of these, dum pukht is a major and popular style. This style is no more than 200 years old and this followed by the Central Uttar Pradesh (in Awadhi cuisine), Punjabi, Kashmiri and Pakistani cuisines.
Hyderabadi biryani is one of the most popular dishes over the globe. It is one of the signature dishes of Hyderabadi. This is an authentic meal of Hyderabad invariably includes mutton, chicken or lamb or vegetables but mutton is one of the most popular dishes. Any person who visits Hyderabad would not leave till they taste the Biryani, in its original form or in its alternate Vegetarian Form. The Nizams served some 26 varieties of biryanis for their guest. The biryani is cooked in two ways: Pakhi biryani and the kachche biryani. The kachche gosht ki biryani is a traditional style of making the biryani by cooking the raw meat with spices for couple of minutes and then covered with rice and put on dum.
Dum means cooking on very low flame in sealed containers. This allows the meats to cook, as far as possible, and in their own juices and bone-marrow. The spices used are less than those in traditional Indian cooking, with fresh spices and herbs for flavoring. In some cases, cooking dough is spread over the container, like a lid, to seal the foods. This is known as purdah (veil), but on cooking becomes bread which has absorbed the flavors of the food and the two are, therefore, best eaten together. In the end, Dum Pukht food is about aroma, when the seal is broken on the table and the fragrance of an Awadhi repast floats in the air. Some of the popular recipes cooked in this style are: Dum chicken biryani, Hyderabadi mutton biryani, Nihari gosht, Dal bukhara etc.,
Hyderabadi cuisine – slightly sour, hot and richly endowed with nuts and assorted spices and cooked in asli ghee – has to be enjoyed to be believed. The wealthy and leisured aristocracy of the erstwhile Nizam State as well as the long peaceful years of their dominance, contributed largely to the development of and devotion to, the culinary art. Along with the tandoori style of cooking, biryanis & pulaos are the greatest export sensation of Nawabi cuisine. From the delicate pulaos typical of northern India, to the richer, spicier preparations of the Deccan, there are a hundred ways to say it with rice – each one as distinctive as your own signature.
Hyderabadi Cuisine has different recipes for different events, and hence categorized accordingly, like banquet food, for weddings and parties, festival foods and travel foods. The category to which the recipe belongs itself speaks of different things like the time required preparing the food, the shelf life of the prepared item, etc. The cuisine is special because of its use of ingredients that are carefully chosen and cooked to the right degree and time. Great attention and care is given to picking the right kind of spices, meat, rice etc. Biryanis are usually cooked in traditional utensils made of copper or brass. Slow cooking is the hallmark of Hyderabadi cuisine. As mentioned in my earlier articles, Biryani can be cooked in two ways. One is the raw meat method in which the rice and the meat is cooked together in layers, and the other is cooked meat method in which pre-cooked meat and rice are cooked together in layers.
This delicious dish originated in the royal kitchens of Nizam, a Mughal ruler of Hyderabad in the 18th century. Goat meat or mutton is the natural choice for Hyderabadi Biryani recipe, but it can be substituted by other meats such as chicken or beef. Making Biryani is an art which has been transferred from generations to generations. In many famous restaurants serving Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani, their recipe is a top secret. Here you will find a wonderful and easy way of making this delicious Biryani at home, just need to follow steps and watch the video at:
For preparing this dish, first boil the water, add oil, salt and cook rice half cooked. Next for marinating the mutton, in pan take mutton, add all the spices and curd, fried onion and mix well. Now in a pan add the marinated mutton in the bottom and top it of with half cooked rice, add mint leaves, coriander leaves, and fried onions. Repeat the same process twice. Cook for 30min. Serve hot with raita and mirchi ka salan ,
Remember that the best part of enjoying a Biryani is its aromatic meat. Cut meat into large chunks especially mutton or beef. Unlike the chicken, mutton meat is very strong, thus will not lose its structure if over cooked. But if undercooked will spoil the biryani.
