• 2 tablespoons of ghee
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 2 green chilies, slit
• 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon of coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala
• 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder

• 2 cups of water
• Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
• Fresh mint leaves, chopped, for garnish

Kitchen Tools Needed:

• Large pot

Instructions:

• In a large pot, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
• Add the garlic, ginger, and green chilies, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
• Stir in the cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and salt, allowing the spices to bloom for about 1 minute.
• Add the mutton pieces, cooking until they are browned on all sides and well coated with the spices.
• Pour in 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until the mutton is tender, about 30 minutes.
• While the mutton cooks, rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
• Once the mutton is tender, add the rinsed basmati rice to the pot and gently stir to combine.
• Cover the pot and cook on low heat for an additional 15 minutes, or until the rice is fluffy and fully cooked.
• Turn off the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before removing the lid.
