Mutton Beliram or Meat Beliram is a mouth-watering delicacy of the Punjabi cuisine. This dish was named after the famous historical chef Beliram of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s kitchen who was the best cook of that time. The very famous chef of pre independence India who lived in Punjab province carved this recipe.As the Maharaja always sought variety and encouraged culinary innovation, Beliram created a meat dish.I tried with chicken and cooked in earthenware to bring in more flavours.
