Instructions:-
1. In a large pot, combine the lamb or chicken pieces with oil, ginger paste, garlic paste. Make a potli of sabut masala or use a tea infuser gadget to fill all masala in to cook in Yakhni (cumin seeds, black peppercorns, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick )
2. Add 6 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes to 40 min until the meat is tender and the stock is flavorful. Keep the stock aside.
3. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot add the soaked rice with the meat / chicken with yakhni (stock) . Mix gently to coat the rice with the flavors.
4. The level of the stock should be about 1 inch above the rice. Add cut green chillies.
5. Cook the rice on open flame on high until you see the water has settled a bit. Now cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid or put an aluminum foil on the utencil under the lid and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes on low flame until the rice is fully cooked and aromatic, and the liquid is all absorbed.
6. Once done, garnish with fried onions.
7. In a bowl take some kewra water and add the yellow food color along with 3tbs of water. Pour it over the cooked rice for that beautiful yellow saffron color!
8. Carefully roll the rice upside down with a spatula to fluff the rice grains and open up!!
