Minced Meat Pulao
(Recipes from the Brigade of Gurkhas Collection)

4 lb rice
2 lb lamb (lean and boneless)
1 lb onions
2 tsp ginger powder
4 cloves garlic
2 lb frozen peas
8 cloves
1 lb ghee (or butter)

Coarsely mince the lamb. Pick and wash the rice. Grind the onion, garlic
and ginger powder together. Heat the ghee (or butter) to a blue haze, add
the cumin seed and cloves, fry until the cloves rise to the surface. Add
the onion mixture and fry for 2 minutes. Add the minced meat, fry for 3
minutes, add the yoghurt and cook until the meat is a rich brown. Add the
peas and simmer until the peas are cooked. Add the rice and salt to the
mixture, add enough boiling water to come 1 inch above the surface of the
rice. Return to boil, cover and simmer until the water has almost
evaporated. Turn into suitable dishes, sprinkle with masala, cover and
cook in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. Serve.
