health benefits of mutton biryani

Sara Ali Khan is the newest obsession of the young hearts of the country and why wouldn't she be? She is beautiful, smart, poised, and a wonderful actor. She is, in fact, exactly the right mix of bold and classy, sophisticated and sassy. Netizens have recently been talking about her unusual fashion sense - which she seems to have borrowed from her Simba co-star Ranveer Singh and her absolutely fit body which was once, not so fit.

Pictures of Sara from the time when she was a chubby kid are not hidden from anyone and the actress does not feel any shame or embarrassment in confessing or admitting to the fact herself, which is another great quality about her. Sara also told in a talk show that she suffers from PCOD, which was probably the reason for her being overweight. Describing her teenage self as “Delusional, fat and funny” in an interview with a Bollywood channel, and getting all excited about Mutton Biryani with Mirchi ka salan in Hyderabad, Sara has always proven that she is just like one of us, a girl who wants to eat without getting fat.

However, Sara's guilty pleasure – Mutton Biryani, may not be as unhealthy as you perceive it to be. Here are a few health benefits of the dish that will make you feel less guilty about indulging in the wonderful taste, once in a while.


Red meat is healthier than white meat
According to a TOI report, red meat – which means goat meat is actually more nutritious and healthy than white meat. Goat meat is lower in calories, fat and cholesterol than other meats like lamb meat, chicken, turkey or pork.

Mutton is nutritious
Mutton contains iron, protein, vitamin B, vitamin E, vitamin K, omega 3 fatty acids, omega 6 fatty acids, amino acids, and many other minerals and nutrients that make it one of the healthiest meats available. Mutton is healthier than chicken and when the choice is between chicken and mutton biryani, the healthier choice is mutton biryani, exactly what Sara chose!

Best meat for hypertension
If you are a non-vegetarian and have a heart condition like hypertension, mutton is your only option and guess what? It is also delicious. Mutton contains less cholesterol and sodium than all other meats that have been mentioned before and therefore is healthier for the heart than those. It is also rich in potassium which helps the heart muscles work properly.


Good for anaemic people
According to a report published in TOI in 2017, 51% of Indian women were found to be anaemic, which is the highest in the world. Mutton is very rich in iron and may be a good food option for people with anaemia. Eating mutton biryani can help in regulating the quantity of iron in the blood.

Reduced risk of obesity
The high content of protein in goat meat helps you feel fuller for longer and keeps hunger pangs away that may make you overeat or eat too often. This quality reduces the risk of weight gain and obesity and helps in weight management.
