Steps

Step 1  

Marinate 1 kg of small mutton pieces with 4 tablespoons of raw papaya peel + salt paste (papain concentrated in raw papaya skin is a natral meat tenderiser) + dahi + ginger garlic paste + lemon juice + biryani masala powder for 3 hours.

Step 2  

Use your hands to really push the flavor into the meat.

Step 3  

Fry 2 big finely chopped or ground onion in ghee till brown and caramelised + add the marinated mixture and mix.

Do not mix beyond this point as the meat should stay at the bottom with the rice in a layer above it.

Cover and cook - without mixing to maintain the layers - till the rice is fluffy.
