Dindigul style mutton biryani recipe | Mutton Briyani in Cooker preparation with step-by-step photos and a quick video. Dindigul is known for biryani and thalapakatti is a known brand all around the world. In Dindigul biryani, they use tiny-grained seeraga samba rice, and it’s one of the most expensive rice grown in southern Indian states. This rice type resemblance to cumin which is known as seeragam or jeera in the Tamil language. So this rice type got such a unique name. It is approximately a third the size of a grain of basmati rice and the aroma of the rice alone can make you go mouth-watering for sure. I had intentionally experimented with this biryani using a cooker so that biryani can be made in a quick time when you are running out of time. This biryani has a very distinct taste, fluffs up well when cooked. Before starting to cook, wash and soak the rice for at least half an hour. Hope you will enjoy this recipe.
