Recipe
1
Wash and soak 500 grams of basmati rice for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2
Marinate 500 grams of chicken or mutton pieces with 200 grams of yogurt, 2 teaspoons of ginger-garlic paste, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, salt to taste, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3
In a large pan, heat 4 tablespoons of oil or ghee. Add 2 thinly sliced onions and fry until golden brown. Remove half of the fried onions and set aside for garnishing.
4
Add 2 chopped tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon of fennel seeds, 2-3 green cardamoms, 2-3 cloves, and 1-inch cinnamon stick to the pan. Cook until tomatoes are soft.
5
Add the marinated meat to the pan and cook on medium heat until the meat is tender and the oil separates from the masala.
6
In a separate pot, bring 1.5 liters of water to a boil. Add soaked rice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of oil. Cook the rice until it's 70% cooked. Drain the rice and set aside.
7
Layer the cooked meat and partially cooked rice in a heavy-bottomed pan. Sprinkle the reserved fried onions, chopped coriander leaves, and chopped mint leaves on top.
8
Seal the pan with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil. Cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and the flavors have melded together.
