This is a Goan style pulao - an aromatic dish made out of rice that is first browned in oil and then cooked with spices and vegetables. This particular pulao is very popular in Goa and is traditionally made using spicy Goan sausage, which can be replaced with Chorizo or any other kind of sausage and made as spicy or mild as you like it.
1.5 cup Basmati rice, soaked in water
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 teaspoon ginger paste
2 medium tomatoes, cut into small cubes
~10 cm Chorizo sausage, sliced
8 cloves
4 cardamon pods
2.5 cm cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder
salt to tast
2 tablespoons Oil for frying
3 cups hot water
1. Heat the oil in the pot and fry cloves, cardamon, peppercorns and cinnamon just until they release their aroma.
2. Add the onion and fry them till they become soft and translucent (up to 5 minutes), don't let them burn.
3. Add the garlic and ginger paste and fry it for just another moment.
4. Add the tomatoes, chorizo pieces and turmeric powder keep frying till the tomatoes become softer (~3 minutes). Increase the flame if needed.
5. Strain the water from the rice and add them to the pot. Fry the rice stirring occasionally till it starts browning lightly (~5 minutes).
6. Add 3 cups of water and salt to taste, stir it, wait till it starts boiling cover the pot, reduce the flame and let it cook for 10 minutes without opening the pot even once. After 10 minutes, remove the pot from the flame and let it sit still covered for another couple of minutes. Now it is ready!
Enjoy :)
