I spotted the Hairy Bikers making this on TV during the week and really liked the look of it. I found the recipe in their Curry book so it had to be tried - also Curry is one of the few things that I can guarantee George will eat.
It was quite a long winded recipe with lots of stages to it.
First stage was the beef- a paste was made in the food processor of onions, ginger, garlic and chillies
Freshly ground spices were added to the onion paste - coriander, cumin, cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and salt
This spice paste was fried, and then seared braising steak was added to it, along with some yoghurt and water, and it was left to simmer for a couple of hours
The other layers were prepared - basmati rice was part cooked and mixed with some chopped coriander, and some finely sliced onions were fried until golden.
Once all the components were ready, the dish was assembled.
First layer was half the beef.
On top of that went half the rice, then half the fried onions - this was then drizzled with milk and saffron infusion. Then the layers were repeated.
The top layer was dotted with butter, then wrapped tightly in several layers of foil and into the oven. Garnishes were sultanas, toasted flaked almond and boiled eggs.
