Laziz Lamb Handi is a non-vegetarian dish that is extremely rich and deliciously prepared with assorted spices, tomatoes, cream, onion, ghee and red chillies. The remarkable thing is that the biryani is prepared in a large aluminium bowl known as Handi. The preparation of non-vegetarian food in Handi adds up extra flavours in the mutton because the surface of Handi is enormous, and the meat gets flavoured very nicely. The succulent lamb pieces can melt your mouth after exploring the aromatic spices and fresh onion tomato gravy paste blended in ghee. You can add some extra hot chillies to make the recipe more delicious. The roasted meat brings out the flavoured gravy that can be eaten along with Tawa Paratha, Naan or Jeera Rice for lunch or dinner.

Following are the steps to make Laziz Lamb Handi:
- First, marinate the lamb pieces with salt, Kashmiri, chilli powder, ginger paste, curd and keep for 30 minutes. By this process, the meat will squeeze all the spices themselves and will become a bit juicy.
- Heat an aluminium handi on a medium flame. Add ghee and garlic and stir for 1 minute. Include the lamb pieces and cook for nearly about 6-7 minutes on high flame. Then keep it aside.
- Add the onions, ginger paste, bay leaves, garam masala, and fry until caramelised.
- Add the chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, tomato paste and cook for about 12 minutes.
- After 12 minutes, add the marinated lamb pieces and water.
- Cover and cook nicely until the meat gets fully cooked.
- Stir it well until the gravy gets dry. You can add more water if more than one-fourth of water is left. Do check for salt.
- Add the garam masala powder, lemon juice, cream, coriander leaves for garnish.
- Please bring it to a boil and serve hot with naan or tandoori roti.
