Ingredients:
500 Grams Keema(lamb mince)
500 Grams Basmati Rice
1 Large Onion (roughly chopped)

1 Bay leaf
Fist full coriander and mint leafs (finely chopped)
1/2 Lime juice
4 Tbsp Ghee
3 Tbps Oil
Salt to taste.
How to prepare ginger and garlic paste:
I would normally take equal measure 1/3 cup of ginger and garlic and add 1 tbsp of fennel seeds and grind to a smooth paste i will not add water while grinding to a paste rather add 2 tbsp vinegar and 1/4 tsp salt this paste will remain fresh in the fridge for 2 weeks preserve in a glass airtight container.
For 1 coffee glass rice i have added 1 1/2 Cup water. for 1/2 kilo rice the measure was 3 glasses rice i added 4 1/2 glass water. if you have chicken or mutton broth add 3 cups mutton broth and 1 1/2 cups water. mom some times will add regulare skimmed milk instead of water you can do that as well so you'll add 3 cups of broth or water and 1 1/2 cups milk.However i added 3 cups mutton broth and 1 1/2 cup water.
