Quick fix akhni

Nafisa's post left me craving akhni. So I checked my freezer, found some steak and decided to quickly stir a pot.

I followed a similar method to Nafisa's except I didn't use tomatoes (I didn't have any fresh and was too lazy to go to the supermarket) and it still came out fine. I also added a little bit of curry powder, curry leaves, stick cinnamon and cardamom pods. The fragrant white rice, I boiled with a bit of turmeric and two cardamom pods. My mother-in-law taught me a trick, if she doesn't have turmeric, she uses food colouring to yellow her rice.

After mixing the curry and rice together, I put it in an oven proof dish, spotted it with butter and sprinkled some chopped coriander leaves over it. Left it in a preheated oven at 180 ℃ for about 20 minutes.

And yum, yum, yum...

Thanks, Nafisa!
