Food story
The story behind this dish
PART 1 · THE SLOW LAMB
What is it?
Tender lamb and basmati sealed together and slow-steamed dum style until the rice drinks the meat.
PART 2 · THE SLOW LAMB
Lamb needs time
Chicken forgives a hurry; lamb doesn't. Low steam and patience turn it silk-soft.
PART 3 · THE SLOW LAMB
The seal matters
Dough around the lid traps every wisp of saffron and steam. Breaking the seal is the best moment of the meal.
PART 4 · THE SLOW LAMB
Urban's dum
Sealed and slow-cooked to order — deeper and richer than the chicken, for the committed.
