Ingredients:

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs lamb or 1 chicken
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 large carrots
  • 2 tsp char masala or 2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp saffron (optional)
  • 2 1/2 pints water
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 -1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 -1 1/2 tsp cardamom

Directions:

  1. Brown 1 medium diced onion in oil. Fry until the onion is fairly dark. Add 1 lb lamb cut into 1 -2 cubes and brown lightly.
  2. Add 2 cups of water, 1 teaspoons Salt and 1 to 1 1/2 tsp each (cinnamon, ground cumin and ground cardamom) Cover and simmer until meat is tender, about an hour.
  3. Remove meat from the juice and set juice aside. Cut 3 carrots into match stick size pieces. Sauté carrots and 1 tsp sugar in about 1/4 cup of oil. Cook until they are lightly browned. Remove from oil Add 1 cup of raisins (I prefer golden sultanas) to the oil and cook until they swell up.
  4. Boil the meat juice and add 2 cups basmati (very long grained) rice, 1 1/2 tsp salt and enough boiling water to come 2 inches over the rice. Cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, but not mushy.
  5. Mix the meat, carrots, raisins and rice together. Place in a large oven-proof casserole, cover and bake at 300 degrees for about a half hour-or up to an hour. To serve-place on platter, making sure the carrots and raisins show on top.
