Preparation
- Put the water on low heat with the saffron and let it infuse.
- Peel and slice the shallots into half rings, place them in a cast iron pan with 50 grams of the butter and caramelize on low heat for 10 minutes.
- Grate or finely chop the ginger and add together with the turmeric and cumin to the shallots. Sauté for 3 minutes on low heat.
- Cut the lamb shoulder into dice-sized pieces and add to the pan, cook the whole for 10 minutes on low heat.
- Meanwhile, melt 75 grams of butter in a saucepan, add the star anise, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and cardamom and let infuse in the butter for 5 minutes.
- Add the basmati rice to the butter mixture and, stirring, let the rice absorb the flavors over low heat.
- Meanwhile, peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes and add to the rice. Mix well.
- Now add everything from the saucepan to the cast iron pan and stir well.
- Add the saffron water with some salt and let the whole cook with the lid on for 30 minutes on low heat.
- Season to taste with the desired amount of salt.
- Rinse the split peas under running water until the water is clear.
- Then cook the yellow split peas with the turmeric in plenty of water for about 30 minutes.
- Drain the peas, but save the cooking liquid! Let both cool in the refrigerator.
- Place the flour on the work surface, add a little cooking liquid and knead into a nice elastic dough. Use more liquid if it is too dry.
- Now add the oil and knead it in.
- Set the dough aside and let it rest/rise for half an hour.
- Put the split peas in a food processor and add the cumin powder and salt.
- Process the dough to a nice, slightly coarse texture.
- Now add split peas to the dough and mix well.
- Make equal balls of the dough and roll out as thinly as possible with a little flour.
- Bake in a dry, hot pan on both sides until nicely cooked.
- Spoon some lamb biryani onto the dhal puri.
- Add beautiful acids to taste. We used pickles and yellow beet with some sprigs of ghoa cress.
- Roll it up or fold it like a taco.
