👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
Marinate beef cubes with a pinch of salt, turmeric, and coriander powder for at least 15 minutes.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Marinating enhances flavor and tenderness. - 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large, wide pan or paella pan over medium-high heat. Brown the marinated beef cubes on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
- 3
In the same pan, add chopped onion and sauté until softened. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies, sautéing for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the remaining turmeric, coriander, cumin, garam masala, curry leaves, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and cloves. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until spices are aromatic.
- 5
Add diced tomatoes and cook until they soften and break down. Return the browned beef to the pan.
- 6
Stir in the rinsed basmati rice, ensuring it's well coated with the spice mixture. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Season with salt.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Ensure liquid to rice ratio is appropriate for paella. - 7
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- 8
Add diced carrots, bell pepper, and peas on top of the rice. Do not stir. Cover again and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until rice is fully cooked and tender, and vegetables are tender-crisp.
- 9
Once cooked, let the paella rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes off the heat. This allows the flavors to meld and the rice to finish steaming.

Garnish with fresh chopped coriander and serve hot with lime wedges.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: A squeeze of lime brightens the flavors.
💡 Profesjonelle tips
- ✓Use a good quality beef cut that tenderizes well with slow cooking.
- ✓Adjust chili quantity to your spice preference.
- ✓Ensure the paella pan has a wide base for even cooking.
- ✓Don't stir the rice after adding the vegetables to create a nice crust at the bottom (socarrat).
