Ingredients
Instructions
-
Soak the basmati rice for 30 minutes, then boil in open water until fully cooked and fluffy, then drain.
-
Cook the minced meat with ginger-garlic paste, sliced or fried onions, and all basic spices on high heat until all moisture evaporates completely, ensuring the mince remains dry without excess oil.
-
Mix in finely chopped green chillies, coriander, and mint leaves into the cooked dry mince.
-
Prepare the seasoned ketchup sauce by mixing ketchup with food color, black pepper, roasted cumin-coriander powder, and chilli flakes.
-
Prepare french fries by frying potato strips until golden and crispy.
-
Assemble or serve by placing the boiled basmati rice on a platter, topping or layering with the dry spiced minced meat, seasoned ketchup sauce, green chutney, crispy french fries, and sliced boiled eggs.
-
(Optional) Some prefer to layer the components in a greased mold and bake for 5 minutes, though serving flat with toppings is preferred to keep the rice from drying out.
-
Serve hot and enjoy this unique, colorful dish!
Note
Ensure the minced meat is cooked until completely dry with minimal oil so it doesn't make the rice greasy.
Adding french fries and boiled eggs on top not only increases nutritional value but also makes the dish incredibly appealing and appetizing for kids.
