Ingredients
  1. Beef 2½ lbs, large pieces
  2. 1 cup Beef broth
  3. Basmati rice 2½ cups
  4. Onion – 1 large, diced
  5. 1 tsp Garam Masala
  6. Saffron ½ tsp
  7. Cumin powder ½ tbsp
  8. Salt 1 tsp
  9. Brown sugar 1 tsp, optional
  10. Carrots 2, julienned (sliced) thin vertical slices
  11. Yellow raisins 1 cup
  12. Almonds ½ cup
  13. Pistachios ½ cup
  14. Cooking oil ½ cups
  15. Water 2 cups
Method
  • • Heat half of the oil in a heavy large skillet and fry onions until golden brown. Add meat pieces to the fried onion and cook until light brown on both sides. Add salt, garam masala and saffron and fry the meat until the oil separates and rises to the top. Add water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer covered until meat is tender. Add more water if required.
  • • In a separate pan, sauté carrots in a small quantity of oil, add sugar and fry until softened. Remove from pan and keep aside. Add a little oil to the pan and sauté raisins until they swell up. Remove from pan and set aside. Next fry the almonds and pistachios to a golden brown and set aside.
  • • When meat is cooked, remove it from the remaining water/stock with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add rice and salt to the stock, add broth and cook until the liquid comes to a boil. Lower the heat and cook covered until rice is done and dry (about 15-20 minutes). Alternatively, once the water dries up to about 70% of its original quantity, the pan may be placed in a preheated oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
  • • When ready to serve, transfer the rice to an oven-safe serving plate, top with meat in the center surrounded by carrots on all sides, sprinkle with raisins and nuts and heat in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
  • • Serve hot with salad and chutney.

I have eaten this pulao, but not the kabuli pulao. It was so damn tasty. I loved it, I loved it to the bits and bites.

Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors - it's how you combine them that sets you apart.
