Ingredients:
1 jar Salwaa’s Akhni Pre-Mix
4 cups Akila Fragrant Rice
750g lamb, mutton or chicken pieces
3 potatoes
Fresh dhanya for garnish
Butter as needed

Method:
Soak 4 cups Akila Fragrant Rice in boiling water to cover.

Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the clean chicken or meat pieces and stir well to combine. Cover & simmer for 15 to 35 minutes depending on the type of meat used. Add water if required. After the meat has cooked for 15-35 minutes add three medium potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters (optional)

Cook for 5 minutes. Rinse the soak rice until the water run clear and add into the pot. Cover with 2 cups hot water or enough to just cover the rice. Add 1 tsp salt, a handful of freshly chopped coriander/ dhanya and butter dotted on top of the water. Cook on high until the rice start boiling, turn the heat to its lowest setting. Steam until the rice is cooked and most of the water has evaporated. Turn the heat off, cover with foil and leave to rest for about 10 minutes.
