The Hydrebadi mutton Biryani looks so inviting. I understand the addition of raw papaya taste is to something with the meat if I am not wrong. Love your nonv veg biryanis.

Though I do not cook non-veg biryanis or in fact any other dish except chicken very occasionally.. I am loving all your versions and am tempted to make some with chicken. Lovely share.
