👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Place lamb shanks in a large pot or pressure cooker. Submerge with water (at least 2 inches above the meat). Add the quartered onion, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, peppercorns, and cloves. Bring to a simmer.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: If using a pressure cooker, cook for 25 minutes on low heat after pressure is built. If using a regular pot, simmer for 1.5 hours. - 2
Skim any impurities from the surface of the broth. Once the lamb is tender, remove it from the broth using a slotted spoon. Strain the broth into a separate bowl and set aside.

In a separate pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the lamb pieces and sauté for 4 minutes, turning frequently, to coat them in garlic butter.

Add the drained chickpeas to the pot with the lamb and gently mix. Stir in the rinsed basmati rice, seven spice mix, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure the rice is evenly coated with spices.

Pour in 4 cups of the reserved lamb broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed.

Fluff the rice with a fork. Serve the lamb and chickpea rice pilaf hot.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
- ✓For extra flavor, you can sear the lamb pieces before adding them to the broth.
- ✓If you don't have seven spice, you can use a mix of equal parts cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and allspice.
- ✓Garnish with toasted pine nuts or fresh parsley for added texture and freshness.
