Mutton Biriyani
I make mutton rarely. I usually make it the Angananan Style. This is my dads favorite. I love trying different variations. I found another version recently from my MW book. It was super rich and yumm. I served it with the Spicy Chicken Curry.For more Mutton Recipes CLICK HERE and for more Chicken Recipes CLICK HERE.
