Malabar Mutton Biryani – Kerala Cuisine – with Video

I received many requests for this Recipe. Sorry, it took so long. A great-tasting Malabar Mutton Biryani. This Biriyani is served at most Muslim Weddings in the Malabar Region and is widely appreciated.  Please use only the best MUTTON (Goat)and don’t substitute lamb as it just isn’t the same.

There’s nothing like a good Malabar Mutton Biryani on the weekends with your family. You will feel like taking a nap afterward out of sheer contentment. Black Tea ‘Suleimani’ is often requested after this meal.
