Instructions:
Prepare the Yakhni:
Cook the Beef: In a large pot, add beef pieces, water, onion, ginger, garlic, and whole spices. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
Strain the Broth: Once the beef is tender, remove the beef pieces and strain the broth to remove the whole spices and other solids. You should have about 4 cups of yakhni. Set aside.
Prepare the Pulao:
Cook the Beef: In a separate pan, heat ghee or oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until golden brown.
Add Aromatics: Add minced ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Add Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil starts to separate.
Add Spices: Add the whole spices (cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, bay leaf), and ground spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala). Mix well.
Combine Beef and Yakhni: Add the cooked beef pieces to the pan, followed by the strained yakhni. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Cook the Rice: Wash and soak the rice in water for about 30 minutes, then drain. Add the soaked rice to the pot. Stir gently to combine.
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the yakhni. Avoid stirring too much to prevent the rice from breaking.
Rest: Once cooked, turn off the heat and let the pulao rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the flavours meld together. Enjoy your Beef Yakhni Pulao! It’s a comforting and hearty dish that's perfect for family gatherings or special occasions.
