  1. Method 1. To make the adrak lahsun ka masala (ginger and garlic paste); in a food processor blend the ginger and garlic to a smooth paste. If necessary, add 1 teaspoon cold water. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

  2. Mix the lamb with the adrak lahsun ka masal, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom seeds, chilli powder, yogurt, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon groundnut oil and the salt. Cover and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.

  3. Heat 3 tablespoons groundnut oil in a small frying pan, and fry the onion for 5 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Set aside.

  4. Rinse the rice thoroughly in cold running water and place in a medium pan with the boiling water. Cover and boil for 8 minutes or until the rice is half cooked. The grains should be soft on the outside but still hard in the centre.

  5. Gently warm the milk and soak the saffron strands for a few minutes.

  6. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4.

  7. Heat the remaining oil in a heavy-based pan and fry the marinated meat for 15 minutes until well browned.
