BREYANI RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 300ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 25-30 minutes. Drain (if necessary) and cover.
FRESH HERB PASTE
Finely chop ½ the picked coriander, the grated garlic and ¾ of the sliced chilli (to taste) until a chunky paste. Place in a bowl and mix in a drizzle of oil. Alternatively, use a blender if you have one.
SPICE THINGS UP
Place a pot over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. Once hot, fry the Spice Blend until fragrant, for 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the diced Onion and the lamb chunks. Fry until the onion is soft, 3-4 minutes. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick and the star anise. Mix in the coriander paste and seasoning. Fry, 3-4 minutes, (shifting regularly.)
THE FINAL STEAM & THE FINAL MIX
Add the cooked rice and the drained lentils to the pot and gently toss, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and dry out for 10 minutes. There should be no liquid remaining. Finely chop the remaining coriander leaves and place in a bowl with the yoghurt. Mix to combine, season, and set aside.
A MEAL TO BE PROUD OF!
Dish up a mound of fragrant lamb breyani. Dollop over the herby yoghurt and garnish with the remaining chilli (to taste). Dig in! (And watch out for those sneaky cardamom pods…)
