• 2 tablespoons Ginger garlic paste
• 2 whole Green chilies
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala

Directions

Step 1

Clean and cut the mutton into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix yogurt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Add the mutton pieces, mix well, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the mutton is marinating, wash and cut the cauliflower into florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until it resembles rice grains. Set aside.

Step 4

Slice the onion and chop the tomato and green chilies. Also, finely chop coriander and mint leaves for garnishing.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown. Remove half the onions for garnishing.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the ginger garlic paste and sauté until the raw smell disappears.

Step 7

Add cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf, and cardamom pods. Sauté for another minute until aromatic.

Step 8

Add the chopped tomatoes and green chilies, cooking until the tomatoes are soft and oil starts to leave the sides.

Step 9

Add the marinated mutton into the pan and fry for about 3-4 minutes to lock in the flavors.

Step 10

Pour in 1 cup of water, cover, and cook on low heat for about 30-40 minutes until the mutton is tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed.

Step 11

Once the mutton is cooked, add the cauliflower rice to the pan. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 12

Cover and cook for another 5-8 minutes on low heat until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.

Step 13

Add the remaining tablespoon of ghee and mix well.

Step 14

Garnish with fried onions, fresh coriander, and mint leaves.

Step 15

Serve the Keto Mutton Biriyani hot with a side of raita or salad.
