Perfectly done mutton biryani in presser cooker. Most of my biryani recipes will be dum style. Some how I am comfortable like that as presser cooker version biryani becomes soft for me .Your dish has turned out very well.

Sharmila, I did all the biryanis in pressure cooker and instant pot only. DUM process pakkame pogala. 😉 chicken, fish, mutton now what next? Kalakkal ponga.
Suma Gandlur
The rice looks so perfectly done. Sharmila, did you cook only for three minutes after putting on the pressure valve? No need to wait for any whistles? Does the rice get done in such a short time?

The biryani has turned out perfect. One pot meals are easier to manage than the dum biryani, so even I opt for such biryani often.
