Method

  1. - In a bowl, combine goat meat, yogurt, prunes, ginger, garlic paste, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, cumin, black pepper, turmeric, red chili pepper, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix well.

  2. - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 to 14 hours to marinate.

  3. - Rinse the rice under lukewarm water twice. Place the rice in a pot and add enough cold water to reach 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches above the rice. Let it soak for 1 hour.

  4. - In a large skillet, melt unsalted butter over low heat. Cook and stir the onions until translucent and golden, for about 10 minutes.

  5. - Add the tomatoes to the skillet and cook and stir until the oil separates and rises to the surface, for 5 to 10 minutes.

  6. - Mix the marinated goat meat mixture and potatoes into the onion mixture. Cook and stir until the meat is browned and cooked through, for 20 to 30 minutes.

  7. - Pour 1 1/2 cups cold water (or enough to cover) over the goat meat mixture and cook until the meat is tender, for 30 to 40 minutes.

  8. - Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the oil separates from the mixture, for about 5 minutes. Decrease the heat to low and keep it warm.

  9. - Preheat the oven to 275 degrees
