(Gosht Pullao)
Category: Non-Vegetarian Pilafs
Makes 4 to 6 servings
This is about as easy as you can get with a meat pullao. Cook the lamb until it's 3/4 done, add the rice, then finish cooking. All is done in 1 pot in 2 simple and easy steps. Serve it just with a yogurt raita and a salad, if you wish.
1 1/4 cups basmati rice, sorted and washed in 3 to 4 changes of wate
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, all visible fat trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons peeled minced fresh ginger
1 clove fresh garlic (large), minced
1 to 3 fresh green chili peppers, such as serrano, minced with seeds
1 large tomato, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons Garam Masala
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 large russet potato, peeled and cut ino 1-inch pieces
1 cup milk (any kind)
1/2 teaspoon ground green cardamom seeds
1. Soak the rice in water to cover by 2 inches, 30 minutes or longer. Drain, saving 1 1/4 cups of the water.
2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat and sauté the onion until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the lamb, ginger, garlic, green chili peppers, tomato, coriander, garam masala, and salt and cook over medium heat the first 3 to 5 minutes, then over medium heat until the lamb pieces are golden brown and almost done, about 20 minutes.
3. Add the potato and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Then add the rice, the reserved 1 1/4 cups water, and the milk, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer until the rice is done and the lamb and potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle the cardamom seeds on top, and serve.
