Step 1

Set a large saucepan over a medium-high heat with 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Cook the meat for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the cinnamon, bay leaves and mixed spice along with salt and pepper. Stir to combine then pour in 1 litre cold water. Stir in the onions and tomatoes and cover with a lid. Simmer for 30 minutes or until the meat is well cooked.

Step 2

Make the sauce. Set a large saucepan with the ghee over a medium heat. Cook the onion, tomato, pepper and garlic for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, 1 tsp salt and cook for 2 minutes more. Top up the sauce with half of the broth from the meat. Leave to boil for 5-10 minutes.

Step 3

In a different pan, make the rice. Set a large saucepan with the vegetable oil over a medium heat and add the rice. Stir well, then add enough tomato and broth sauce to cover the rice by 1cm. Add the dried lemon Leave to simmer until the liquid is absorbed, then reduce the heat and leave for 10 minutes without stirring.
