Learn how to make Muradabadi Yakhni Mutton Biryani. Muradabadi Yakhni Mutton Biryani or Muradabadi Yakhni Pulao is one of the most popular Mutton Biryani dishes from north Indian cuisine. In this method, a yakhni is prepared from the Mutton meat by boiling mutton meat with whole spices. Then the Mutton meat is fried with spices and curd. And then finally the rice are cooked along with yakhni water and Mutton meat.

This Mutton Yakhni Pulao or yakhni biryani is quite different in taste from Hyderabadi mutton biryani or layered Biryani. In yakhni biryani, as the rice are cooked along with Mutton meat and spices, the spices and meat essence are absorbed by rice, hence enhancing the taste of rice a lot.

Muradabadi biryani has it’s own way of cooking and is loved all around the country, especially in North India, region. You can prepare this muradabadi yakhni biryani either with chicken or mutton. I have prepared the muradabadi mutton biryani here but the process of muradabadi chicken biryani will also remain almost the same. See the recipe instruction for this yummy muradabadi biryani. #muttonbiryani #biryanirecipe #merirasoi #yakhnibiryani

Step 1 – Wash and Soak Basmati Rice for Mutton Dum Biryani

The very first step to make any Biryani is to wash and soak the Rice. And the quality of Rice is very crucial here to make any kind of biryani. You should always try to use high quality Basmati Rice if you really want a perfect Biryani. For this Muradabadi Yakhni Mutton Biryani too, take high quality Basmati Rice.

There are two variations of Basmati Rice available in market. First one is roasted Selha Basmati Rice and the second one is raw white Basmati Rice. You can take any one of these Basmati Rice for this Mutton Dum Biryani. The only difference between two comes into the timing required for soaking the Rice and in giving the “Dum”.

If you are taking white Raw Basmati Rice, then soak the Rice just for 20 to 30 minutes. But if you are taking roasted selha Basmati Rice, then you need to soak the Rice at least for 1 hour before you make the Biryani.

For this biryani we have taken white raw Basmati Rice so we will wash and soak 500 Grams raw Basmati for 20 minutes.

Step 2 – Prepare Yakhni for Muradabadi Yakhni Mutton Dum Biryani

Mutton Yakhni is kind of a Mutton soup cooked along with Mutton meat and some spices. Follow these simple recipe instructions to make Mutton Yakhni for muradabadi Yakhni Mutton pulao or Yakhni Mutton Biryani. See Recipe Video Here.

Step 3 – How to Make Muradabadi Yakhni Mutton Dum Biryani

Time needed: 1 hour

So as we have the Mutton Yakhni ready, this is the time to make Biryani. Follow these simple recipe instructions to make Muradabadi Yakhni Mutton Dum Biryani.

  1. Heat 3 TBsp refined oil in a pressure cooker at medium flame.

  2. When oil is medium hot, add whole spices. So add 1 Tsp Cumin Seeds (जीरा), 2 Nos Black Cardamoms (बड़ी इलाईची), 1 pc Cinnamon Stick (दालचीनी), 3 Nos Green Cardamoms (हरी इलाईची), 4 to 5 Nos Cloves (लौंग), 8 to 10 Nos Black Peppers (काली मिर्च), 1 Nos Star Anise (चक्र फूल), 1 Nos Mace (जावित्री) and 2 Nos Bay Leaves (तेजपत्ता).
    Fry these whole spices for about 4 seconds till Cumin seeds start spluttering.

  3. Keep the gas flame at medium flame and when Cumin seeds start spluttering add Ginger Garlic Paste (अदरक लहसुन पेस्ट). Prefer to use homemade Ginger Garlic Paste. To make Ginger garlic paste at home, take 40% Ginger and 60% Garlic and grind them with little water to make a fine paste.

  4. Add ¼ Tsp crushed Netmeg (जाइफल) and stir fry for 3 to 4 Minutes at medium flame.

  5. Then add Mutton (मटन ) pieces which we had separated out from Yakhni water.

  6. Slit Green Chillies (हरी मिर्च) from middle and add.

  7. Add 2 Nos diced Tomatoes (टमाटर) and 1 Tsp Salt (नमक). Fry the Mutton for 4 to 5 minutes at high flame.

  8. Now switch the gas flame to low and add 1 bowl Curd (दही) at low flame. Mix well and switch the gas flame to high.

  9. Cook for 5 to 6 Minutes till spices start losing oil.

  10. Then add the Mutton Yakhni Water (यखनी का पानी) that we had strained. For raw Basmati Rice, the quantity of water should be doubled of Rice. So as we have about 1 Glass of Basmati Rice here, total water should be 2 Glasses. If Mutton Yakhni water is not sufficient, add the required amount of plain water to make the total water quantity to 2 G lasses. See Recipe Video Here.

  11. Add Rice and give a gentle mix. Then cover normally. We do not have to give it whistle, so do not pressure cook. Just loosely cover with a lid.

  12. After two minutes, check the Salt in Biryani water and adjust as per your taste. The salt in Biryani water should be little upside of actual Salt required in Biryani.

  13. When the mutton biryani has very less water left in Rice bottom and the Biryani Rice are about 90% cooked, sprinkle fried Onions on top of the Rice.

  14. Dissolve a pinch of Red food color or saffron in 2 Tsp water and sprinkle this water on Biryani.

  15. Now we have to give this Muradabadi Yakhni Biryani a “Dum”. To give the “Dum”, cover the cooker lid tightly. Keep the gas flame ON for 1 to 2 Minutes and then switch off the Gas. See Recipe Video Here.

  16. Leave the cooker as it is until the cooker pressure is auto-released. This may take about 5 to 6 minutes.

  17. Then open the lid and your yummy Muradabadi Mutton Yakhni Biryani is ready. Serve hot with your favorite Chutney and Riata.
