Tender cuts gently braised in a luxurious, mildly spiced sauce of coconut cream, ground almonds, and fragrant green cardamom.
Soak the basmati 30 minutes and dice the vegetables, apple, and nuts.
Fry the cashews and raisins in half the ghee until golden and drain.
In the remaining ghee, crackle the cumin seeds, add the carrot and peas, and sauté 4 minutes.
Add the drained rice with 3 cups water and salt, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 12 minutes.
Fold in the apple, fried nuts, raisins, and garam masala and fluff gently.
Cover and rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving.
