Recipe
What you need
· ½ kg of red meat
· 4 large bulbs of onion
· *Pilau masala (preferably whole)
· ½ kg of white rice
· 3 cloves of garlic
· 1 table spoon of tomato paste
· Good music (to get that good feeling mood)
How to prepare
· Boil your meat till it is almost cooked and put it aside
· Peel the onions and chop them into large rings, each onion should give you about four large rings
· Peel the garlic and ground them into an a fine paste, that is if you have a mortar and pestle if not, you can always blend the garlic
· If you have a pan place it on the fire let it heat just a little then take two tablespoon of the pilau masala and heat them on the pan. NB: ensure you get a little bit of every individual spice in the masala. Once they have started producing an aroma empty the masala into a blender or mortar and crush into a fine powder.
The actual cooking.
· Cook the onion rings in the cooking oil until they are golden brown, you want to keep stirring to ensure that they do not burn and also ensure you have put enough cooking oil
· Once the onion rings are golden brown add the fine garlic paste; the pilau masala powder; the tomato paste; and the meat. Stir and cover. Let it cook under medium heat for about ten minutes or until it starts smelling like you know what you are doing
· Depending on the cups of rice, add water to the ratio of 1: 1 ½ , that is for every cup of rice add 1 ½ cups of water.
· Once the water has boiled add the rice and stir. Once the rice has been evenly distributed in the water allow to cook for five minute or until the rice is only partly covered in water, then cover and reduce the heat to minimum and cook for another five minutes or until the rice is cooked.
And there you have it, your delicious pilau. Serve with a healthy helping of love and a salad of your choice.
