I'm talking about beef tehari, it's a mixture of beef and fragrant rice with a lot of spices. It's so flavourful, you can smell it miles away.

You will find hundreds and thousands of recipes online, there are many 'ready mix' spices that reduce the cooking time and helps to make it perfect. You can use that too. You can follow THIS recipe for the detailed process and ingredients.

Let me share mine!

There are two basic steps to this recipe. One- we need to cook the beef, two- we need to prepare the rice. Then we need to mix them together. Or you can try 'one-pot' cooking, I'm not good at that so skipped it.

Add some water to cook it for a few minutes. And it will be done.

I know, I made it sounds simple. But this is not a simple recipe to follow. It takes a lot of ingredients if you follow the traditional recipe. As I used ready-mix spices so just adding them can give you adequate taste.

You can follow any recipes online for the best result and detailed process.
