Ingredients

  • 450 g Lamb shoulder, cubed
  • 300 g Basmati rice
  • 700 ml Lamb broth (or water)
  • 150 g Onions, sliced
  • 60 g Ghee
  • 12 g Cumin, clove, cinnamon, cardamom
  • 150 g Yogurt, for serving
  • 5 g Salt & pepper

Method

  1. 1

    In a large pot, heat ghee and sear lamb until browned. Remove and set aside. In the same pot, cook sliced onions until deep golden brown.

  2. 2

    Add rice to the pot and toast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add all whole and ground spices: cumin, cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom. Toast for 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Return lamb to pot. Pour in broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat and let rest covered for 10 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork. Serve with a dollop of cooling yogurt on the side to balance the aromatic spices.
