Golden Brown Pilau

Pilau can be tasking to cook especially if it comes out like brown or coloured rice, it’s discouraging. But that’s why I’m here! To show you how to took the best Pilau.

You’ll need a heavy sufuria.

Ingredients

Onions 3 large
Garlic cloves 4 large
Ginger
Tomato paste
Oil
Potatoes at least 5 large ones
Beef cubes( goat is preferred, it’s tender) 1/2 kg
Spices- beef masala, pilau masala, black paper, cloves, garam masala,chilli powder,bay leaves,cumin, jeera, cinnamon and cardamon
Rice- 1 cup rice
Water 2 cups water
Soy sauce 2 table spoons

Preparation

Boil the goat meat a little make sure you add salt to it. 10 mins maximum.
In another sufuria fry the onions…like this. Till the become very very golden. ..not burnt
Add your beef and fry till golden too then add the garlic and ginger which is mashed into a paste.
Add the peeled and sliced potatoes.
Spice it up using the spices above. A teaspoon of each.
Make sure the sufuria looks golden brown. We need that golden brown look in the outcome
Add tomato paste- 1 table spoon and let it cook for 5 minutes by now your kitchen smells magical
Add 2 cups of hot water-same size as the cup used to measure the rice. If not add 2 cups of cold or room temperature water and let it boil.
When it has boiled, check it’s salt level. If it’s not to your liking add more salt. Add 1 cup of washed rice-same cup used to measure the amount of water.
Let it cook until all the water is absorbed. Reduce the heat to minimum. At this point I add the cardamon of the rice then cover the sufuria with an aluminium foil.
