Ingredients
  

Mutton/Lamb Stock

  • 500 g Mutton
  • 20 g Ginger
  • 5 cloves Garlic Chopped
  • 1.5 litre Water
  • 1 tsp Crushed Chillies
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Peppercorn
  • 2 Cumin Seeds
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 Onions
  • 10 Cloves
  • 2 Bay Leaf
  • 4 Black Cardamom

Rice

  • 400 g Rice
  • 50 ml Oil
  • 1 Onions
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 3 Green Chillies
  • 1 tbsp Water

Instructions

  • In a bowl cover the rice completely with cold water and leave it to soak for a minimum of 1 hour.
  • Whilst the rice is soaking in a large pot add the lamb stock ingredients along with your choice of meat (mutton or lamb) then add the water and cook for 40-45 minutes until the meat has softened – mutton meat may take longer.
  • When the mutton is almost done cooking, heat up the oil in a separate pot on medium heat then add the finely sliced onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and browned – once lightly browned add 1 tablespoon of water to release the colour from the onions.
  • Remove the lamb pieces from the other pot and add to the onions along with the garlic paste, salt, and green chillies then cook for 7-8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sieve the stock then add the lamb stock into the lamb and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pan then gently mix before cooking on high heat for 10-15 minutes or until the water has almost dried up.
  • Reduce the heat to low then cover with a lid and cook for 10-15.
  • Serve immediately with raita and enjoy!
