Mutton biryani calories and macros

One plate of mutton biryani (about 250 g) has roughly 520 calories, with about 24 g protein, 55 g carbohydrate, and 22 g fat. Mutton biryani is the heaviest of the common biryanis, because mutton is fattier than chicken and the dish is typically cooked with a generous amount of ghee. The structure is the same as any biryani, mostly basmati rice with the meat and gravy, but the mutton's own fat plus the ghee push both the calories and the fat higher than a chicken or veg plate. The protein is strong at 24 g from the meat. Published numbers scatter widely, from around 260 for a small light plate to over 700 for a large rich one, because portion size and ghee vary so much. A home plate with less ghee is near 440, while a rich restaurant dum biryani crosses 640. To lower it, the levers are the same as always: more meat and less rice, and go easy on the ghee and fried-onion topping.
