Kacchi Biryani Recipe – Authentic Bangladeshi Style

Authentic Bangladeshi Kacchi Biryani Recipe – Step-by-Step Guide

Learn how to make authentic Bangladeshi Kacchi Biryani with tender mutton, fragrant basmati rice, and aromatic spices. Perfect for weddings, Eid, and family feasts!

Introduction

Kacchi Biryani is one of the crown jewels of Bangladeshi cuisine, often reserved for weddings, Eid celebrations, and special family gatherings. Unlike other biryanis, the meat in Kacchi Biryani is marinated raw (kacchi) and cooked together with rice in a slow-cooking process, resulting in melt-in-the-mouth mutton and perfectly spiced, fluffy rice.

If you’ve always wanted to make authentic Bangladeshi Kacchi Biryani at home, this step-by-step recipe will guide you to perfection.

Ingredients

For the Mutton Marinade

  • 1.5 kg mutton (bone-in, medium pieces)
  • 1.5 cups plain yogurt
  • 3 tbsp ginger paste
  • 3 tbsp garlic paste
  • 1.5 tbsp red chili powder
  • 1 tbsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala powder
  • 1 tbsp roasted cumin powder
  • 1 cup fried onions (beresta)
  • ½ cup mustard oil or ghee
  • Salt to taste

For the Rice

  • 1.5 kg basmati rice (aged, long-grain)
  • 4 liters water
  • 6–8 green cardamoms
  • 4–5 cloves
  • 2–3 bay leaves
  • 1 cinnamon stick (2-inch piece)
  • 2 tsp salt

For Layering & Cooking

  • ½ cup warm milk with 8–10 saffron strands (or 1 tsp saffron essence)
  • ½ cup ghee
  • Extra fried onions for garnish
  • 4–5 boiled eggs (optional)
  • 4–5 potatoes, peeled and halved, fried until golden

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Marinate the Mutton

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine mutton with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder, cumin, garam masala, fried onions, mustard oil, and salt.
  • Mix well and cover with cling film.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6–8 hours (overnight is best).

2. Prepare the Rice

  • Wash basmati rice 3–4 times until the water runs clear.
  • Soak for 30 minutes, then drain.
  • In a large pot, boil water with whole spices and salt.
  • Cook rice until 70% done (still slightly hard in the center).
  • Drain and set aside.

3. Layer the Biryani

  • Grease a large, heavy-bottomed pot with ghee.
  • Spread the marinated mutton evenly at the bottom.
  • Place fried potatoes over the mutton.
  • Layer half-cooked rice on top.
  • Sprinkle saffron milk, extra fried onions, and ghee over the rice.

4. Dum Cooking

  • Seal the pot lid with aluminum foil or a flour dough ring to lock in steam.
  • Cook on high heat for 10 minutes, then reduce to low heat for 1.5–2 hours until the mutton is tender and rice is fully cooked.
  • Rest for 15 minutes before opening.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve hot with salad, cucumber raita, and borhani.
  • Garnish with fried onions, boiled eggs, and fresh coriander leaves.

Tips for Perfect Kacchi Biryani

  • Use aged basmati rice for the fluffiest texture.
  • Always marinate meat overnight for deep flavor.
  • Avoid stirring after layering—keep the “dum” process undisturbed.
