Wash the mutton thoroughly and marinate with yogurt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, biriyani masala, lemon juice, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
While the mutton is marinating, prepare the cauliflower rice by chopping the cauliflower into florets and pulsing them in a food processor until the texture resembles rice.
Slice the onions thinly and chop the tomatoes into small pieces.
Heat the ghee in a deep pan on medium flame. Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom pods, and bay leaf. Fry the spices until they are fragrant.
Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add the ginger garlic paste and sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil starts to separate.
Add the marinated mutton to the pan and cook on medium heat until the mutton is browned and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Once the mutton is cooked, add the mint leaves, coriander leaves, and green chilies. Mix well.
Add the pulsed cauliflower rice to the mutton mixture. Mix everything well and cover the pan. Cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.
Adjust the salt to taste and give a final stir before serving.
Serve hot garnished with fresh coriander and mint leaves alongside raita or a simple salad.
