Biryani is a popular rice dish which is made differently in different parts of our country. There are different styles followed in cooking, different blend of spices, different type of rice. In Tamilnadu, Seeraga samba rice is used which gives a unique flavor to the biryani. In other parts, the long grained basmati is used. Be it anything, Biryani in any style tastes wonderful. This Chettinad Mutton Biryani with Coconut Milk is one among the tastiest Biryani!

Weekends are meant for special lunches. I made this biryani for a Sunday lunch, along with Mutton Varuval and Mutton Kuzhambu. I love to have my biryani with curry and it makes the biryani even more tasty and spicy.  It was very yummy. A blissful Lunch it was!! The Specially ground masala enhanced the taste of biryani so much. Needless to say, addition of coconut milk balances everything perfectly.

I love biryani and I try different styles of it. Check out Paneer Biryani, Mushroom Biryani from F for Flavourserving mutton biryani

Recipe Notes

1. Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of it. Some takes at least 10 whistles, while some cooks in 6 - 8 whistles. If you feel, the mutton is under cooked before adding rice and coconut milk, cook for 2– 3 more whistles.

2. You can even substitute coconut milk with water.

3. This seerga samba mutton biryani recipe yields mildly spiced biryani. If you want a spicier biryani, add 2 more green chillies.
