Beef Mandi

7. Remove beef carefully and set aside. Strain and measure the broth.

8. Add washed, soaked basmati rice to the broth (usually 1 cup rice = 1.5–2 cups liquid). Adjust seasoning and bring to a boil.

9. Lower heat, cover, and cook the rice until fluffy.

10. Place the beef pieces over the rice and steam on low heat for 10 minutes so flavors combine.

11. Optional: For smoky flavor, place a small hot charcoal on foil in the pot, add 1 tsp butter/oil, immediately cover for 5 minutes. Remove coal before serving.

12. Fluff rice and serve beef mandi with salad or chutney.
