Hyderabadi Dum Biryani Recipe Biography
Source(google.com.pk)
Hyderabadi Dum Biryani is the king of all biryanies. Basically, there are two kinds of Biryani: Pakki Biryani and Kachchi Biryani.
Today I’m going to share the making of Kachchi Biryani. It is an actual biryani where raw hyderabadi biryanimarinated meat placed on the bottom of the pot and then layer with par boiled rice, seal and cook on a low flame for hours, so that the rice is cooked with steam generated by air tight environment. this entire process is known as DUM method. As a result you are getting juicy and succulant pieces of meat that melts in your mouth and each rice grain is well separated and cooked nicely.
Before starting, you should remember something very important things:
When you are choosing meat for biryani, make sure meat pieces are big in size and they are raw tender and lean otherwise the biryani will not come out well.
As you know the meat takes long time to cook, that’s why you have to use meat tenderizer. Raw papaya juice and pineapple juice are natural and powerful meat tenderizer. Apart from these different brands of meat tenderizer available in the shop. You can try out them. In case of chicken biryani, these meat tenderizers are not required.
To make extra-ordinary biryani I always like the rice and meat in 1 :2 ratio. However If you want you can make 1:1 or 1:1.5 ratio. Here I have taken 250 gm good quality basmati rice along with 500 gm mutton. This is the exact measurement of authentic Hyderabadi biryani.
Now what is the right kind of cookware to make biryani?
Traditionally the biryani is cooked in degchi. As it is not available everywhere except India, so you can use a vessel whose bottom is round, thick and deep to make sure that the meat is not sticking to the base of the vessel. It also ensures even distribution of heat from all sides of the bottom and heat retention for longer time without burning the food.
First you need to make garam masala powder using the ingredients mentioned below. Try to use freshly ground spices because they add fantastic aroma to the biryani. Spices that are stored too long lose their pungency. They are just lightly roasted and grind to a fine powder.
Spice powder:
shahi jeera: 1/4 tsp
cinnamon: 2 small sticks
4 green cardamom
cloves: 2
10 black peppercorn
A piece of mace and nutmeg
For marination of meat:
Goat or lamb meat : 500 gm cut into big chunks.
50 gm thick curd/yogurt
3-4 chopped green chilies
1/2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1 tbsp red chilli powder (adjust per your taste)
1/4 tsp turmeric chilli powder
1tsp tbsp coriander chilli powder
1 tsp all garam masala (The recipe is above )
Fried onion of 2 medium onions
1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves
3/4 cup pudina leaves
juice of 1 lemon
1 tsps salt
Raw papaya juice 2-3 tbsp or meat tenderizer
2 tbsp Ghee/ clarified butter
Rice preparation:
250 gm good quality Basmati rice
2 cloves
2 cardamoms
1 black cardamom
1″ cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
4 black pepper corns
Nutmeg and mace
2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp shahi jeera or caraway seeds
water as required
Some other ingredients:
Brown onion in a large amount
saffron milk
Ghee/ clarified butter
Method:
So let’s marinate the meat first.
In a large bowl, add all the marinating ingredients. Put yoghurt, ginger garlic paste, Red chilli powder, Turmeric powder, Garam Masala powder, Saffron, Lemon, Fried Onions, Green Chillies, Coriander (finely Chopped), Mint ( finely chopped),Salt to taste, oil/ ghee. here I am using ghee or clarified butter. This is one of the secret ingredient of making good tasty biryani. and mix well.
Now cover and keep it in the refrigerator for atleast 2-3 hours.
Rice Preparation:
In a large pan, bring surplus water to boil. take a piece of soft cotton cloth. put 2 cloves, 2 cardamoms, 1″ cinnamon stick, 2 bay leaves,, 4 black pepper corns in and make a bundle of this.
Now drop this in the water and it is going to release flavor as much as it can. Another reason is I don’t like the bite of whole spices.
Also add oil, shahi jeera and good amount of salt. Don’t worry about adding salt. Because most of the salt will go off while draining water from rice. Let it come to boil.
In the meantime prepare Saffron Milk. Slightly roast and crush the saffron strands and put them in lukewarm milk. It gives the biryani distinct flavor and orangey- yellow streaks. Keep it aside.
Soaking the rice is also very important because it helps the rice expand to maximum length. So soak it in the water for 30 minutes. Choose long grain basmati rice.
We should cook the rice in two parts. When it is just cooked for 1-2 mins. take out half of the rice. It will go on the 1st layer of the meat. and continue cooking until you get good 1 boil that means the rice should roll over in the water.
Now drain out the water and save the drained water because i will be using this water also..
Layering the rice and meat:
Our rice is cooked, meat marination is done. Now it’s time for assembling.
Put the mutton on the base of a pan in which you are going to make the biryani. Add the drained water because the meat needs some moisture to cook which it gets from this water and thus overall biriyani remains nice and moist.
Put the half of rice on the top of the mutton. Spread fried onion, saffron milk, ghee and garam masala powder on the rice.
Now add rest of the rice on it and spread rest of the fried onion, saffron milk ,coriander leaves, meant leaves and ghee.
After layering the rice and meat, It is also important to leave around 1/4th of the vessel free for the steam to collect and aid in cooking.
Now you can either seal the edges with roti dough or use a piece of foil paper and seal the top. I think 2nd option is more good and convenient than 1st option.
Now cook it for 5 mins on high flame, then 15 minutes on medium flame and 30 mins on simmer.
After 45 mins, It is good idea to keep it like that for 15 mins. Be careful when you are opening the lid out, because the steam can be dangerous.
Your Hyderabadi dum biryani is ready. There is a special cut of biryani. put a spatula at the edge of the vessel and lift it up carefully.
I love to enjoy with vegetable raita and green salad.
