Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 ½ pounds goat meat
1 ¼ cups plain Greek yogurt, stirred
6 pitted prunes, or more to taste
3 ½ tablespoons diced fresh ginger
1 ¼ tablespoons garlic paste
1 ½ teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
½ teaspoon ground red chile pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 ¼ pounds basmati rice
1 ½ cups unsalted butter
6 onions, thinly sliced
4 ripe tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 ½ cups cold water, or more as needed
12 cups water
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon butter
4 bay leaves, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Mix goat meat, yogurt, prunes, ginger, garlic paste, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, cumin, black pepper, turmeric, red chile pepper, cinnamon, and cloves together in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 to 14 hours.
  • Rinse the rice under lukewarm water 2 times. Place rice in a pot and cover with enough cold water to reach 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches above rice; soak for 1 hour.
  • Melt unsalted butter in a large skillet over low heat; cook and stir onions until translucent and golden, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook and stir until oil separates and rises to the surface, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Mix marinated goat meat mixture and potatoes into onion mixture; cook and stir until meat is browned and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes. Pour 1 1/2 cups cold water (or enough to cover) over goat meat mixture and cook until meat is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until oil separates from the mixture, about 5 minutes. Decrease heat to low and keep warm.
  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
  • Bring 12 cups water, 3 tablespoons salt, and 1 tablespoon butter to a boil in a large pot for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain rice and add to boiling water; cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully drain water.
  • Spoon 1/2 the rice into the bottom of a large baking dish; top with 1/2 the goat meat mixture. Arrange 1/2 the bay leaves over goat meat mixture. Repeat layering with remaining rice, goat meat mixture, and bay leaves. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until rice is fully cooked, 30 to 40 minutes.

Avoid this recipe at all costs. It's a disaster.

This is the worst biryani I've ever had. The meat was dry and tough, and the rice was bland.

This recipe is way too complicated. I spent hours making it, and it didn't even taste that good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my biryani didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The rice was a little bit dry and the goat meat was a bit tough.

I'm not a huge fan of goat meat, but I really enjoyed this biryani. The spices were really flavorful and the rice was cooked perfectly.

This is the best goat biryani recipe I've ever tried. The meat is so tender and juicy, and the spices are perfectly balanced.

I love this goat biryani! It's so easy to make, and it always turns out great. I like to add a little bit of extra ginger and garlic to the marinade to give it a bit more flavor.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The biryani is absolutely delicious. The rice is fluffy and flavorful, and the goat meat is cooked to perfection.

I've made this goat biryani several times now, and it's always a hit. The meat is so tender and the spices are perfect. I like to serve it with a side of yogurt and mint chutney.

This goat biryani recipe is a keeper! The flavors are so rich and complex, and the goat meat is fall-off-the-bone tender. I followed the recipe exactly, and I was not disappointed. My family loved it!
