2. Rub the potatoes with salt and turmeric and fry lightly.
3. Wash and soak the rice for 30 minutes, then boil it with cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaf and salt until 70% cooked; drain.
4. Spread the meat in a heavy pot, add the potatoes, then layer the rice on top.
5. Sprinkle milk, the remaining ghee, fried onions and nutmeg-mace; seal the lid with dough.
6. Cook on high for 10 minutes, then set the pot on a tawa and cook on the lowest heat for 70–80 minutes.

💡

• Smaller pieces and a long marinade make sure the meat cooks through.
