Hyderabadi Veg Mutton Biryani Recipe | Veg Mutton Dum Biryani | Veg Goat Biryani with detailed photo and video recipe. Basically, a vegetarian or meat-free biriyani recipe prepared with a meat alternative. It carries the same meat-like texture with the same set of spices and can be served as a mutton biriyani alternative. The biriyani masala and the meat alternative is marinated with the same technique as the goat biriyani and then later cooked in dum style for an authentic taste.
Hyderabadi Veg Mutton Biryani Recipe | Veg Mutton Dum Biryani | Veg Goat Biryani with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Biriyani recipes have always been synonymous with the choice of meat used in it. However, there have been so many vegetarian alternatives with potatoes, paneer, mushroom and soya for non-meat eaters. But there has always been an argument, that it is not even close to authentic taste. Well, this meat-free mutton biriyani is not an answer to it, but certainly an alternative to meat-based biriyani.
I have always been a huge fan of pulao or flavoured rice recipes. However, there has been a gradual shift to biriyani recipes lately. This is mainly due to my new Telugu friends and the influence they bring to the food. My love for biriyani has grown to an extent that, I or my husband prepares it for every Saturday or weekend dinner plus some good movie. This affection has also led to experiments with vegetarian biriyani alternatives. From the combination of vegetables to individual paneer or aloo flavoured biriyani. Having said that, in this post, I have used jackfruit or also known as kathal to prepare the veg mutton dum biryani. It is basically used or marinated and dum-cooked to get the same authentic taste as you may get in a meat-based one. Again, this is not replacing the authentic mutton biriyani but an alternative option, especially if you have stopped eating it.
