chalna or dalcha is a popular and most loved side dish for mutton biryani. this Biryani Dalcha recipe is with step by step photos and video recipe. simple, easy and tasty side dish to go with biryani.  

this particular dish is made very differently at different parts of india. even in tamilnadu, if you taste dalcha in muslim house its different. in restaurants its different. When i googled to find out authentic recipe, there are N no of versions and looks to this Biryani dalcha.

With help of my muslim friend, I got this recipe and this as she said is an authentic version unlike restaurant walas or recent days dalcha. So, I quickly wanted to try it out and it tasted just awesome. 

this is non veg version of Dalcha. If you wanted the veg dalcha, then simply omit mutton and add vegetable stock if possible. adding mutton bone stock is very much a plus to this recipe.
