Our quick version of this usually labor-intensive Indian rice dish is intricately spiced and irresistibly delicious. Don't let the long ingredient list put you off; almost everything is a pantry staple. Indian cooks leave the whole cloves and pieces of cinnamon in when serving, but of course they don't eat them. Fish these spices out before serving if you prefer.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt with the garlic, cayenne, cumin, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Stir in the lamb.
|
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the onion and cook until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cardamom, turmeric, cloves, cinnamon, rice, and the remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
|
Add the lamb mixture to the pan. Stir in the water and raisins. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer until the rice and lamb are almost done, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Let stand, covered, until the rice and lamb are just done, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cashews.
|
VARIATION: Other nuts, such as almonds or pistachios, can easily stand in for the cashews.
