ABOUT Moti Mutton Biryani RECIPE

Each and every region in India has it’s own version of Biryani, nowadays they vary so drastically that today's Biryani can be defined as “rice and meat cooked together”. I love Kolkata style Biryani, because of its sweetness & flavour. I am presenting an authentic Kolkata style biryani with a little twist.
