About Mutton biriyani

Mutton Biriyani is a rich and flavorful dish originating from Indian cuisine, particularly popular in South Asia and the Middle East. It combines marinated mutton (goat meat), basmati rice, aromatic spices, and herbs like cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. Mutton is a good source of protein and iron, essential for muscle development and oxygen transport in the blood. The dish often includes yogurt, which adds creaminess and probiotics. A typical serving is high in calories due to the meat, rice, and oils, and provides a mix of macronutrients, including fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, along with minerals like zinc and vitamins like B12 from the mutton.
