  • 2 ripe tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 cardamom pods
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 120 g full fat, sugar-free yogurt
  • 35 ml Borges extra virgin olive oil

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Step by step

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the basmati rice until the water runs clear and let it soak for 30 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a deep frying pan or pot and add the sliced onion. Cook over medium heat until the onion is golden brown and caramelized.

  3. Step 3

    Add the chopped garlic, ginger, and chopped tomatoes and stir until the mixture forms a thick sauce. Add the spices: turmeric, cumin, garam masala, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Mix well and add the lamb along with the yogurt. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes until the flavors are blended and the meat is browned.

  5. Step 5

    Add the rice and the hot broth. Cover and cook over low heat for 15–20 minutes, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is fluffy.

  6. Step 6

    Turn off the heat and let the pot sit for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and mint. For an extra touch, add roasted almonds or cashews.
