How to make Speedy Lamb Pilaf

Wash and soak the rice in warm water for half an hour.
Heat a medium pot with a tight fitting lid and add the oil or ghee. When hot, fry the mince and onion in a large saucepan for 4–5 minutes until browned. Then add the red pepper, Shemin’s Curry Paste, Shemin’s Biryani Pilau Spice Blend, the drained rice and cook for 1 minute.
Add the stock, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender. Once done, turn the heat off and leave the lid on for a further 5 minutes. Season with some salt, garnish with almonds, and serve.

Tips

Tips

Don’t be tempted to open the lid! Keep the lid on until the very end, to make sure the rice cooks perfectly.
You can use any mince for this. For example, beef, turkey or vegetarian mince (and vegetable stock) for a vegetarian / vegan version of this curry.
