Kerala Mutton Fry Biryani



Ingredients

1 cup Kerala mutton fry
   recipe for the same here - http://merakitchen.blogspot.com/2012/10/kerala-mutton-fry.html
1 cup basmati rice
1/2 teaspoon jeera
few curry leaves
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons coconut oil (you can use any other oil of your choice too - but, it would not do justice)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Method

Wash the rice 4 to 5 times. Soak it in 2 cups of water for an hour. Drain the water after an hour, and cook the rice in 3 cups of water and 1 teaspoon salt till its 3/4 th cooked. Drain any excess water from the rice and let it sit.
In a karahi take the coconut oil and heat it. When it gets hot add the jeera and the curry leaves and saute for about 20 seconds. Now add the 3/4th cooked rice and mix well but gently till each grain of rice is coated in the oil.
Now add the Kerala mutton fry and mix the whole dish very gently taking care as to not break any strand of rice. Cover and cook this dish on a low flame for about 20 to 25 minutes. The rice will be cooked and the mutton fry will mix well with the rice here. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
