DISH NAME : ERACHI CHORU (MEAT RICE)
Preparation Time : 30 minutes
Cooking Time : 30 minutes
Description
Erachi choru(meat rice) is a speciality of Muslims in the Malabar region of Kerala. Both meat & rice are cooked together, after the initial cooking of meat. Chicken, mutton, buffalo & beef are used.
Note
1) I've used cooker for cooking. In case you are using ordinary vessel, when cooking rice & meat together, add 1/2 cup more water & cook with lid on till all the water is absorbed.
2) Meat with a little fat will make the dish very tasty.
