This fragrant rice dish, infused with tender lamb and a blend of spices, is perfect for special occasions or a delightful family dinner. Let’s dive into the world of Lamb Pulao

Ingredients:

For the Marinade:

• 1 lb (450g) lamb, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup yogurt
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• Salt to taste

For the Pulao:

• 2 cups basmati rice, rinsed and soaked for 30 minutes
• 4 cups water or chicken broth
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 4 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 4-5 green cardamom pods
• 4-5 cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 2 teaspoons garam masala
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads, soaked in 2 tablespoons warm milk
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Marinating the Lamb:

   • In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and salt.
   • Add the lamb pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2. Cooking the Lamb:

   • Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee or oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marinated lamb and cook until browned and the liquid has evaporated, about 10-15 minutes.
   • Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.

3. Preparing the Rice:

   • In the same pot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee or oil. Add the cinnamon stick, green cardamom pods, cloves, bay leaf, and cumin seeds. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
   • Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
   • Add the chopped tomatoes, garam masala, and red chili powder. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the oil begins to separate.
   • Return the lamb to the pot and mix well with the onion-tomato mixture.

4. Cooking the Pulao:

   • Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pot, stirring gently to combine with the lamb and spices.
   • Pour in the water or chicken broth, add salt to taste, and bring to a boil.
   • Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
   • Drizzle the saffron-infused milk over the top of the rice.

5. Final Touches:

   • Once the rice is cooked, gently fluff it with a fork to mix the saffron evenly.
   • Garnish with fresh cilantro and mint.

6. Serving the Lamb Pulao:

   • Serve the Lamb Pulao hot, accompanied by raita, salad, or pickles.
   • Enjoy this aromatic and flavorful dish with family and friends
