How to prepare

Heat oil or ghee in a pot, fry meat until golden brown. Season with bay leave, cinnamon stick and black pepper corns. Add water, cover and simmer the stock on low heat for 2 hours removing froth as it appears. Once the meat becomes tender turn off the heat and set aside.
In another pot, heat the 3 other tablespoons of oil or ghee, add chopped onions and fry for 6 minutes. Add the broad beans to the onions and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add rice, chopped dill, MAGGI Chicken Stock cubes, cardamom pods, and black pepper and mix well.

Arrange the rice in a wide serving dish, pour the meat on top and serve.
