👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the whole spices (cumin seeds, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick) and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
2
Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
4
Add the cubed beef and brown on all sides. Season with salt.
5
Stir in the diced tomatoes and pilau masala. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down.
6
Add the rinsed basmati rice and stir to coat it with the spices and beef mixture.
7
Pour in the beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Avoid stirring the rice too much once it starts cooking.
8
While the pilau is cooking, prepare the kachumbari: In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped tomatoes, red onion, and green chili (if using). Add lime juice and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
9
Once the pilau is cooked, let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped cilantro.
10
Serve the Kenyan Beef Pilau hot with the fresh Kachumbari on the side.

💡 전문가 팁

✓Rinsing the basmati rice thoroughly is crucial for a fluffy pilau.
✓Do not over-stir the pilau once it starts simmering, as this can make the rice mushy.
✓Adjust the amount of spices to your preference. For a spicier pilau, add more green chili to the kachumbari.
