Mutton Biryani is the king of all biryani. This Biryani is special because we are going to prepare this with Seeraga Samba Rice which is highly aromatic and the fiber content in the rice help to disegt the food very easily.I am huge fan of Biryani,When it comes to mutton biryani Thalapakattu Mutton Biryani ranks the first.This recipe is made in Traditional Thalapakatti style.It is very important to make fresh biryani masala for making this biryani because fresh masala enhances the flavor and taste of our Mutton Biryani.
