Spiced lamb or chicken cooked slowly above rice in a pit or sealed oven, so its juices drip into the rice and give it a smoky flavour.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Rub the lamb with spices, turmeric, salt and ghee and marinate for at least 2 hours.
  2. Put the soaked rice in a deep tray with onion, cardamom, bay and boiling water.
  3. Set a rack over the tray and lay the meat on it so the juices drip onto the rice.
  4. Seal tightly with foil and bake at 160°C for 2½ hours.
  5. Uncover, grill the meat for 10 minutes, then smoke the rice with a hot coal.
