👨🍳 تعليمات
- 1
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or kazan over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb pieces on all sides until deeply colored. Remove lamb and set aside.
- 2
Add sliced onions to the pot and sauté until golden brown and caramelized. This is crucial for the color and flavor of the palov.
- 3
Return the lamb to the pot. Add the julienned carrots and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots begin to soften.
- 4
Stir in the cumin seeds, crushed coriander seeds, and barberries. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- 5
Add enough hot water to just cover the meat and vegetables. Season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the lamb is tender.
- 6
Gently place the rinsed rice evenly over the meat and vegetable mixture. Do not stir. Add more hot water if needed, so the water level is about 2 cm above the rice.

Add the whole garlic heads, pushing them into the rice. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook uncovered until most of the water has evaporated and small craters appear on the surface of the rice.

Once the water has evaporated, reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Cover the pot tightly with a lid (you can place a clean kitchen towel under the lid to absorb excess steam). Let it steam for 20-25 minutes.

Remove from heat. Let it rest, covered, for another 10 minutes. Before serving, gently fluff the rice with a slotted spoon, mixing the layers of rice, meat, and carrots. Remove garlic heads before serving.
