Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Goat Meat

    In a bowl, combine goat meat with ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin seeds, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Goat Meat

    In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown. Add the marinated goat meat and cook until it is browned on all sides.

  2. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, green chilies, and garam masala. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

  3. 5

    Add Water and Simmer

    Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1.5 hours until the goat meat is tender.

  4. 6

    Cook the Rice

    Once the goat meat is tender, add the soaked and drained basmati rice to the pot. Gently mix, ensuring that the rice is well incorporated with the goat meat and spices.

  5. 7

    Final Cooking

    Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and let it cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and fluffy.

  6. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped coriander and mint leaves. Serve hot with your choice of raita or salad.
