👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Heat the oil or clarified butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the meat cubes in batches until well-colored on all sides. Remove meat and set aside.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure the meat is well-browned for maximum flavor. - 2
Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic, freshly ground black pepper, toasted caraway seeds, and coriander powder. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Return the browned meat to the pot. Add the Arborio rice, bay leaf, and salt. Stir well to coat the rice and meat with the aromatics.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Arborio rice is used here for its creamy texture, similar to risotto. - 5
Pour in the warmed beef broth or water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf.

Fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley or cilantro.
