Heat a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or lamb and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula. Drain any excess fat and set the meat aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrots and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the curry powder, ground turmeric, and ground cinnamon, stirring well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
Add the rinsed rice to the skillet and stir for 2 minutes to toast it slightly. Stir in the tomato paste and return the browned meat to the skillet.
Pour in the beef or chicken stock, milk, and bay leaf. If using raisins, add them at this stage. Season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the rice is cooked, remove the bay leaf and fluff the mixture with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving. Enjoy your warm and hearty Kerrieschotel!
