In this classic dish, tender lamb is marinated in a blend of aromatic spices and then layered with fragrant basmati rice, and caramelized onions. Everything is then slow-cooked, allowing the flavors to meld together and infusing the rice with the delicious juices of the lamb. Accompanied with a coconut yogurt sauce that has a touch of heat from habanero peppers & freshness from mint and cilantro, It’s perfect for a special occasion or as a comforting meal on a chilly day!
