- 1 large Onion
- 1 large Tomato
- 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

- 4 whole Cloves
- 1 whole Bay leaf
- 3 whole Cardamom pods

Instructions
Clean and cut the mutton into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
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.
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.
Slice the onion and chop the tomato and green chilies. Also, finely chop coriander and mint leaves for garnishing.
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.
In the same pan, add the ginger garlic paste and sauté until the raw smell disappears.
Add cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf, and cardamom pods. Sauté for another minute until aromatic.
Add the chopped tomatoes and green chilies, cooking until the tomatoes are soft and oil starts to leave the sides.
Add the marinated mutton into the pan and fry for about 3-4 minutes to lock in the flavors.
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.
Once the mutton is cooked, add the cauliflower rice to the pan. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Cover and cook for another 5-8 minutes on low heat until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Add the remaining tablespoon of ghee and mix well.
Garnish with fried onions, fresh coriander, and mint leaves.
Serve the Keto Mutton Biriyani hot with a side of raita or salad.
