Brown Rice Mutton Biryani

#Rainbowweek2 - This is a perfect one pot meal for a lazy weekend lunch. I substituted white rice with brown basmati rice to dish out this yummy mutton biryani. It was my first try and it came out perfect. The spices were the basic ones that is generally used but I added potatoes to it, a la Bong style. You may skip it if you wish.
