For the goat neck: 

2kg goat neck 

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 onions, diced

1 tablespoon whole pilau mix

2 black dried lime (loomi oman)

Saute the onions in a pressure cooker until soft.

Add the black dried lime and pilau mix and cook until fragrant.

Now add the goat neck, salt and water.

Cover and cook for about 45 minutes.

Remove from the fire (retain the broth, which you will use for the rice)

Place over a baking tray and apply:

1 pinch saffron

1 ice cube

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Mix everything in a mortar and pestle.

Using a kitchen brush apply over the cooked goat neck.

Roast in an oven for 25-30 minutes or until crusted on the outside.

For the rice:

3 cups basmati rice, washed

5 cups goat neck broth (dilute with water to get enough broth)

Salt to taste

In a pot add the broth, rice and salt.

Cook until the liquid has evaporated.

Now add the remaining saffron mix that was used to apply on the goat neck.
