1. Cut meat into 3/4 inch 18mm cubes.

5. Mound chalau [see note 2] on a platter and spoon some of the sauce on top. Serve remainder in a separate bowl.

Note 1: 1/4 c. yellow split peas (daul nakhud) can be substituted for the spinach. This dish is then called Korma and the split peas are added at step 3.

Note 2: To make 6-8 servings of Chalau, start with 3 cups of basmati or other good quality long grain rice. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a cooking pot, add the rice, and stir for 5 minutes. Add required water, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook covered +/- 30 minutes. To cook this authentically, put a cloth over the rim of the pan before putting on the lid.
