Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups basmati rice
- 500 grams beef (cut into small cubes)
- 1 large onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 medium tomatoes (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups water
- 2 medium carrots (diced)
- 1 medium green bell pepper (diced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside to soak in water for 20 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and golden.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the cubed beef to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned on all sides.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for 3 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken and the tomatoes soften.
Season with ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices coat the beef and vegetables evenly.
Add 4 cups of water to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the beef simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pot. Stir gently to combine.
Add the diced carrots and green bell pepper to the pot. Cover and let the mixture simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Sudani Rice!
