Mutton Yakhni Biryani is a traditional and yummy recipe, yakhni biryani is not prepared with any specific recipe or is applied different method, not at all. Rather it's a combination of biryani and pulao. But are added tomato, yogurt and spice powder which are added in other types of biryani recipes, in order to understand this biryani pulao method is quite different instead of the typical biryani method, rather it is similar to the pulao cooking method

I’m so pleased to share this recipe. I tried this recipe twice and it turned out really good. If you like it please share your opinion in the comments, that’s a great motivation. As a family tradition, we make yakhni biryani

I’m very fond of garnishing so I’ve added fried onions, ginger garlic paste green chilies, tomatoes, and my homemade yakhni biryani masala, Yakhni pulao taste was so yummy

Generally, Yakhni pulao is not very spicy but this one is moderately spiced. You may use fewer green chilies if you like it less spicy. What makes pulao yummy is the striking aroma and broth-flavored rice.

Tip for making Yakhni Biryani:

The thing with making biryani is that the rice grain should be well separated. Now, that’s a thing you learn with a little practice.

Meat:

While making Yakhni, keep in mind we need half-cooked meat. Since we will cook it in rice and it will be cooked again for 10 minutes. So, if you overcook your meat it will come off the bone and lose all its texture. So meat should be almost cooked but not very soft.

This is the most important ingredient. Since all water will be absorbed by the rice, we need to keep the Yakhni salty like a bit of salty soup. You can taste Yakhni right before adding soaked rice to check salt. Water Level of gravy in yakhni biryani

The second tip keeps the water level 1 inch above the rice layer when you add rice in yakhni to make pulao. When the rice has puffed and water is not visible above the rice, reduce the heat on very low and cover the lid

How to fix the water in biryani:

If in your pulao have accidentally added more water so not to worry just take a dry kitchen towel/handkerchief and cover the pot properly and leave it on low flame for at least 30 minutes it would be set on its own
On the other hand, your rice seems uncooked and water is almost evaporated then you wet the kitchen towel thoroughly and cover the pot properly with it and leave on 15 minutes after minutes you will see your rice has cooked properly

Note: don’t add more water when rice is undercooked it will be mushy and sticky, So let's begin
