Ingredients
For the Lamb Marinade
- ½ c plain low fat yogurt
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 Tbsp ginger
- 2 tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 ½ lbs boneless lamb leg, trimmed of fat and cup into ½-1” cubes
For the Dish
- 1 Tbsp salted butter
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 ½ c basmati rice, soaked for 20 minutes in cool water
- 2 bay leaves, crumbled
- ¼ tsp cardamom
- ¼ tsp Turmeric
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cloves
- 2 c water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix yogurt, garlic, ginger, garam masala, salt and pepper. Mix in trimmed lamb cubes and refrigerate for 3 hours to marinade.
- In a large, cast iron skillet, melt butter. Add onion slices and sauté over medium heat until golden brown, 5-7 minutes.
- Drain rice and add it to the onions along with the spices. Saute for 1-2 minutes.
- Add lamb cubes with marinade and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the rice is cooked and most of the moisture is absorbed, 25-30 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let stand, covered for 5 minutes before serving for the remaining moisture to be absorbed.
