Keep stirring your onions so they don&#8217;t burn and stick to the bottom of the pan! If you find they are starting to stick, you can add a little boiling water at a time. The browning of onions should take around 10-15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Add the cumin seeds and fry for another couple of minutes before adding the meat and the potatoes. Fry for 5 minutes and then add the yogurt and the Laziza spice.<\/p>\n<p>Let that cook on a low heat, covered for about 15 minutes or longer depending on the size of your potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>Use double the amount of boiling water to the rice and add it to the meat and crumble your stock cubes in and add the garam masala. Check for seasoning, add chilli if needed.<\/p>\n<p>Drain the water off the rice and place it in the pan. Once the water starts boiling again replace the lid and let it cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes without stirring\/mixing. After that time you can pick your pan up (with oven gloves!) and give the rice a good &#8216;shake&#8217; while making sure the lid stays firmly on. All the water should be evaporated and it is ready to eat!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_558\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-image-1512689309jpg.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-558\" data-attachment-id=\"558\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/keema-pilau\/wp-image-1512689309jpg-jpg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-image-1512689309jpg.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2000,2000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Keema Pilau\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Keema Pilau&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Keema Pilau&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-image-1512689309jpg-300x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-image-1512689309jpg-1024x1024.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-558\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-image-1512689309jpg-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Keema Pilau\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-image-1512689309jpg-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-image-1512689309jpg-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-image-1512689309jpg-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-image-1512689309jpg-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-image-1512689309jpg-816x816.jpg 816w, https:\/\/www.rahema.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wp-image-1512689309jpg.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-558\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keema Pilau<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another extremely easy recipe to make, courtesy of Laziza spices!
