Critical Success Points

  • Frying onions until golden (not burnt) for both garnish and raita.
  • Not browning onions or mutton excessively to maintain white color.
  • Simmering mutton gently to extract flavor and clarify stock.
  • Straining and optionally resting the stock for clarity.
  • Sautéing mutton in ghee before adding rice.
  • Cooking rice with correct water ratio and covered with cloth.
  • Resting the pulao before fluffing and serving.

Safety Warnings

  • Use caution when frying onions in hot oil to avoid burns.
  • Handle hot pots and steam carefully when removing lids.
  • Ensure mutton is fully cooked to avoid foodborne illness.
