👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 8 minutes.
2
Add the cubed beef to the pot and brown it on all sides. This may take about 10-15 minutes.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Add the ground nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, garam masala, turmeric, smoked paprika, bay leaf, chopped tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5
Pour in the water or beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
💡 전문가 팁: If the liquid reduces too much, add a little more water or broth.
6
Once the beef is tender, stir in the rinsed basmati rice. Ensure the rice is submerged in the liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7
Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
💡 전문가 팁: Avoid lifting the lid during this time to allow the rice to steam properly.
8
Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.

💡 전문가 팁

✓Rinsing the basmati rice thoroughly removes excess starch, preventing it from becoming mushy.
✓Ensure the pot is tightly covered during the rice cooking stage to trap steam.
✓For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of saffron threads soaked in a tablespoon of warm water along with the liquid for the rice.
✓If you prefer a spicier pilau, add a finely chopped green chili with the garlic and ginger.
