Introduce the recipe for Dawood Basha and mention the ingredients.

Use 500 grams of ground beef with 4% fat, and you can use either beef or lamb.

Chop 1 cup of onions (125 grams) and 1/2 bunch of parsley (25 grams) in a food processor, or manually chop finely.

Add 4 cloves of crushed garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, then mix well.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of seven spices, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of dried mint, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the meat mixture.

Add two slices of white bread that have been ground into crumbs and 1/4 cup of milk to the mixture to help keep the meat tender.

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, preferably wearing gloves to avoid mess.

Use a small ice cream scoop to form meatballs, about 1.5 tablespoons in size, yielding around 30 meatballs.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of ghee in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

Fry the meatballs for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned, but not fully cooked through, then set aside.

Strain the oil and ghee from the pan and use it to sauté 1.5 cups of sliced onions (185 grams) until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Add 2 cloves of crushed garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add 4 chopped tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, stirring well and covering the pan to cook for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

Stir in 1/4 cup of tomato paste dissolved in 2 cups of hot water, bringing it to a boil.

Once boiling, lower the heat and add the meatballs back into the pot, seasoning with a pinch of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of seven spices, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Taste the sauce and adjust the salt if necessary, adding 1/2 teaspoon if needed, then cover and simmer for at least 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the rice by frying 1/4 cup of vermicelli in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until golden.

Add 1 cup of rinsed basmati rice and 3/4 teaspoon of salt, stirring to combine.

Pour in 2 cups of hot water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover, cooking until the rice absorbs all the water and is tender.

Let the rice sit covered for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving with the Dawood Basha.
