Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Rice
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for about 30 minutes, then drain.
2. Sauté the Lamb
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the lamb chunks and brown on all sides. Remove the lamb and set aside.
3. Cook the Onions and Carrots
In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add the julienned carrots and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Add Spices and Lamb
Return the browned lamb to the pot. Stir in the cumin seeds, black peppercorns, and salt. Add the whole garlic cloves and bay leaves.
5. Combine with Water
Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1 hour, until the lamb is tender.
6. Add the Rice
Once the lamb is tender, add the drained rice on top of the lamb mixture without stirring. Cover the pot and cook on low heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed all the liquid.
7. Fluff and Serve
Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork and serve warm.
