👨🍳 步骤
- 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.

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.
💡 专业技巧: 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.
💡 专业技巧: 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.
💡 专业技巧
- ✓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.
