Balance all the deep fried goodies for iftar with a flavourful beef congee. 😊

The congee serves around 8, and can easily be saved and frozen for the future.

Steps

1

After washing the long grain rice, add the 1.5 tsp methi seeds, 1 stick cinnamon, sliced ginger chunks and garlic into your pot. Add 6.5 cups of water and cook for 35 minutes in a rice cooker.
2

While that's cooking, chop your 700g beef into bite size pieces. Add in 1.5 tsp salt, a chopped tomato, 1 tsp turmeric, and 1 tsp mana masala. Place in pressure cooker and let cook for 5 whistles.
3

Once your rice is done, remove the cinnamon stick and chunks of ginger. This is the part where you can separate into portions if you're making the congee for two days. (Optional) If you have extra beef stock, pour 1 cup of it for each day's portion.
4

Once your beef is done, add its broth to each portion of congee in equal amounts. Mix the congee well.
5

Dilute 10 tbsp of coconut milk powder in 2 cups of water into a thin consistency. Then mix into your rice and incorporate well.
6

Put this on the stove and let it simmer on medium heat. Then mix 5 tbsp milk powder in 1 cup water and add that to the congee.
7

Finally, add 2 tsp congee masala as it bubbles and turn off the stove. 😊
