Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Pulao Masala by grinding cumin seeds, cloves, cinnamon sticks, black peppercorns, black cardamoms, and green cardamom into a fine powder.

Step 2

Soak the dry meat in water for 3 hours to remove excess salt. Drain the meat and allow it to drip to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat and add the sliced onions. Cook until they are slightly golden brown.

Step 4

Add the drained dry meat and the Pulao Masala powder to the pot. Cook until the meat changes color and caramelizes.

Step 5

Pour in 2 liters of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about an hour or until the meat is tender. Remove the meat from the broth and set aside, keeping the broth for later use.

Step 6

Wash the rice thoroughly and soak it for 2-3 hours. Drain the rice and place it in a pot with enough water. Boil the rice until it is 70% cooked, then drain and transfer it back to a pan.

Step 7

Sprinkle the Pulao Masala powder and garam masala over the rice.

Step 8

Pour the reserved meat broth over the rice and gently mix it in. Place the cooked meat on top of the rice.

Step 9

Cover the pan with a muslin cloth and seal it tightly with a lid. Steam the Pulao for 20-30 minutes over medium to low heat.

Step 10

Turn off the heat and let the Pulao rest for 10 minutes.

Step 11

In a separate pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add the matchstick-cut carrots and cook for 2 minutes. Add sugar and cook until caramelized. Then, add the raisins and cook for a few more minutes. Finally, add the sliced pistachios and cook briefly before removing from heat. Set aside for garnishing.

Step 12

Garnish the Pulao with the prepared carrots, raisins, and pistachios .

Step 13

Serve the Landi Pulao hot and enjoy the delicious flavors!
