SUTRIYAN/ RICE FLOUR PASTA IN CHICKEN GRAVY - WITH STEP BY STEP PICTURES




I have grown up eating Mutton and Chicken Sutriyan right from my childhood. Just the very name of the dish brings back fond memories. My mother and grand mother made delicious Sutriyan at home. So, during weekends or summer holidays, when we kids were free, we would help our mom in making the home made pasta that is added to the Yakhni/ Chicken or Mutton gravy while preparing Sutriyan.

Sutriyan is basically handmade rice flour pasta cooked in a spicy non vegetarian gravy. It can be made with chicken or mutton pieces or even minced meat. Even though the method of cooking this is quite long, you will be impressed with its awesome taste.

Sutriyan is similar to Biryani and it is made in most Muslim households especially in Tamil Nadu. While making Sutriyan, we cook a spicy Khurma/korma just like in Biryani, but instead of Basmati rice, we add handmade cooked pastas into it. 

Sutriyan is one of the first recipes that I learnt from my mother as after Biryani, Sutriyan was my favourite dish. After marriage too, I enjoyed making Sutriyan with my Mother-in-law who is also an expert in making that perfect Sutriyan which is not too dry and not too watery. 

This Sutriyan also called Chawal ke Sutriyan is a one pot dish that does not need any accompaniments or side dishes. It differs from the Hyderabadi Sutriyan which is made with chapathis.

Here I have shared the recipe of making Chicken Sutriyan using my Mother-in-laws recipe which is simply awesome. You can replace chicken with Mutton or minced meat to make Mutton or Kheema Sutriyan.

Next time, if you wish to treat your family to some exotic and delicious dish, then give this Chicken Sutriyan a try and I am sure you will be forced to make it again and again as it is that delicious!
