    Lamb is my hubby's favorite meat. He loves it more than chicken, so i tend to cook it often.

    Notes

    After cooking the mutton, i got ½ cup of water from the mutton cooking liquid. So when i added the rice, i added ½ cup of mutton cooking liquid and 2.5 cup of water. Totally the ratio of rice to water is 1.5 part of water to 1 part rice. So you have to add it accordingly, sometime you will get more cooking liquid then you have to reduce the water quantity

      Hi Aarthi,

      Does cooking rice this way make it fluffy??? Can I use precooked rice to this so that it stays fluffy like fried rice?
