Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients

2 cups Jareesh (cracked wheat, 2-4 mm size)
1 kg Chicken or lamb, cut into chunks
3 tbsp Ghee or oil
2 whole Onions, finely chopped
6 cups Chicken or meat broth
1.5 tsp Salt
0.5 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Turmeric
0.5 tsp Ground coriander

Instructions

Heat ghee or oil in large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until soft and golden.
Add meat chunks and brown on all sides.
Add broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer meat until nearly tender (about 30-40 minutes).
Slowly add jareesh to broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps forming.
Add salt, pepper, turmeric, and coriander.
Continue cooking and stirring over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes until jareesh is cooked through, very soft, and porridge reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
Adjust consistency with more broth if too thick, or continue cooking if too thin.
Taste and adjust seasonings.
Serve hot in bowls, topped with meat pieces and their cooking liquid.
