Hyderabadi Biryani (Ma's recipe)

This is my mother's recipe for kacchi biryani from Hyderabad - where the marinated meat and rice are cooked together on a slow flame, also known as "dum" biryani. This requires prep time of a couple of hours - the meat needs to be marinated. The cooking time is also long, between 50 mins to an hour and a half.

Goan Salt Meat

The First Trial: 1.8 kgs at start

My "Nagpore" grandmother's recipe - as handed down to her daughter who passed this on to her niece (me) who's husband makes this for his son. Wonderful flavor, best eaten cold and sliced thin.

Stick with the ingredients in the right proportion - we did one version "andaz-se" and it was WAY too salty. We usually avoid the salt petre (difficult to get, and nitrates aren't recommended in food).
