Laal Maas Biryani Recipe is a flavourful mutton biryani, made by combining the traditional Rajasthani laal maas along with basmati rice. 

Basmati rice flavoured with caramelised onions, some earthy ginger garlic and a few whole spices is combined with the fiery mutton cooked in a red masala - essentially from where the mutton dish gets its name 'laal' meaning red and 'maas' meaning meat. 

Serve this biryani at dinner parties, carry it to your potluck parties or make it for a weekend meal to treat your family just because. 

Serve Laal Maas Biryani Recipe along with some Lachedar Kakdi Pyaz Kachumber Recipe and Onion Raita Recipe - Pyaz Ka Raita Recipe for a complete meal.

    5

    Turn on the flame and light a piece of charcoal until burning red hot. 

    6

    Once its well lit, transfer the charcoal piece, into a small katori, and add 2 cloves into this same katori. 

    7

    Now gently place the charcoal katori in the centre of laal maas kadai, pour about 2 teaspoons of ghee over  it and immediately close the kadai with a lid. 

    8

    Allow the smoke to be absorbed by the laal maas.
