Cooking Steps

1

• To a medium saucepan, add the water (for the rice) and bring to the boil. • Rinse and drain white rice. • Add rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!

• Transfer slow-cooked beef brisket including the liquid to a bowl and shred with 2 forks. • Thinly slice onion. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until tender, 3-5 minutes. • Add Mumbai spice blend, mild North Indian spice blend and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add beef brisket, thickened cream, the brown sugar and water (for the curry). Simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.
