MOIST GROUND LAMB PILAF

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the rice. Then place the ground lamb and everything else (except the cooked rice, yogurt, cilantro, black pepper, and almonds) into a large nonstick saucepan and cook, stirring as needed, over medium-high heat the first 2 to 3 minutes and then over medium heat until all the juices evaporate and the lamb is golden, 25 to 30 minutes.2. Add the yogurt, a little at a time, stirring constantly to prevent it from curdling, and cook until most of it is absorbed, about 5 minutes.3. Add the cooked rice and cilantro. Cover the pan and cook over low heat, 5 to 7 minutes, to blend the flavors. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with black pepper and almonds, and serve.From "1,000 Indian Recipes."
