   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Check liquid levels periodically and add more water/broth if needed.
6. 6

   While the meat is simmering, cook the basmati rice. In a separate pot, combine the rinsed and soaked rice with 750ml of water or broth, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of oil. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

7. 7

   Once the meat is tender, remove the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and cloves. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. The sauce should have thickened slightly.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: If the sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce.

   Serve the tender meat and its rich sauce over the fluffy basmati rice. Garnish with fresh coriander.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: A side of salad or a simple yogurt dip complements this dish well.
