Gosht dum biryani

Gosht dum is a traditional version of biryani, a quintessential rice dish. It's usually made with a combination of goat or mutton, basmati rice, ginger, garlic, ghee, cloves, cinnamon, hot peppers, milk, saffron, onions, yogurt, mint, bay leaves, coriander, mace, cardamom, chili powder, and salt.

The onions, cloves, bay leaves, and cardamom are stir-fried in ghee and mixed with the lamb cubes and ginger-garlic paste. After a few minutes, yogurt and red chili powder are added to the pan and everything is slowly cooked until the meat is tender.

The meat is removed, and the gravy is strained. Cardamom, mace, and saffron are cooked in milk and water and the meat is then added to the mixture along with cooked rice. The pot is covered and cooked until everything is tender. Once done, the biryani is served hot, typically with raita on the side.
