Re: Tested and tasted!
Which one Afghani or Yakhni? There are several good yakhni pualo recipes here on GS. Mine is here
Meat beef or lamb 1 kg
Rice basmati 750 grams
Boil the meat in 5-6 glass of water with
Saunf: 3 tablespoon
Whole corriander: 3 tablespoon
Whole zeera: 1 teaspoon
One oninon: thinly sliced
Garlic: on whole bulb (unpeeled and intact together)
Salt: 1 tablespoon
Note: if you do not see the risk of chemical contamination, you can put and tight the stuff in pieace of cloth. Otherwise you can just put in the pot.
Boil this yakhni till water reduces to 2-3 glasses and meat is tender and meat takes the taste of saunf and whole corriander.
Then throw away the corriander, zeera and saunf. Separate the meat. Squeeze the garlic into the broth.
Fry one big onion in 3/4 cup of oil till golden brown, separate the onion and now put 1 tablespoon of ginger/garlic paste and fry it with the meat alongwith whole garam masala comprising tez paat, black pepper, cloves and zeera. Put one teaspoon of armoa masalsa (mace, nutmeg, cumin and green cardemom powder) The put 250 grams of yougurt (blend 10 green chillies in it) and cook till water evaporates.
Now put the rice which have been saoked for about 30 minutes in room temperature water. Use the broth water and make up any defficieny. The perfect quantity of the water is 1.5 times of the rice. Also add salt to taste for rice. Cook till rice are almost done and then simmer for 5 minutes after adding kewra and zarda colour. Then serve with the fried onions.
Note: for chicken pulao, add chicken into the boiling broth after an 45 mins.
