Meat Biruani’s are a very popular non-vegetarian Indian dish. My Venison Biryani has a nice fragrance and a herbal warm aroma. The venison in this recipe could be substituted with goat, lamb or a combination of all three. Read more I serve the dish with Naan and cilantro chutney (dhania ki chutney). See less

- Heat butter in a large saucepan (medium heat), add onions and fry till golden around the edges.
- Add red and green peppers and fry two minutes.
- All at once add garlic, ginger and all the spices and fry one minute longer. Add all other ingredients except saffron and yogurt. Add salt to taste. Cover and cook on low heat until venison is tender, stirring occasionally (about 40 minutes). During cooking a little water may be added if and when necessary to avoid sticking but there should be very little liquid remaining in the pan when it’s done.
