Ingredients
1 cup basmati rice
500g lamb shoulder, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
5-6 curry leaves
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoons cinnamon powder
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
5 cloves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup canned tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt, to taste
Preparation
Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for about 30 minutes, then drain.
In a pressure cooker, heat garlic-infused olive oil over medium heat.
Add curry leaves, cloves, cumin, anise and cinnamon sticks. Cook for 30 seconds until sizzling and aromatic.
Add turmeric, cayenne, ginger, cinnamon powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add lamb, stirring well to coat the pieces with the spices. Add 1 cup of water.
Add salt to taste and mix well.
Add tomatoes on top. Do not stir.
Cover pressure cooker and cook on low heat for 15 minutes. Release pressure.
Add rice and 1 cup of water. Cover without engaging pressure and cook on low heat for 15 minutes until rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Engaging the pressure will turn rice into mush!
Turn off stove and add coriander. Mix well.
Serve hot with kefir or lactose-free yogurt and fresh salad.
