Add the spice mix and salt to the meat. Sauté over high heat for 5 minutes.

Add raisins, cover, and simmer on low heat until the meat is tender, about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally.

In a large pan, bring water, milk, shahi jeera, cardamoms, cinnamon stick, and a generous amount of salt to a boil.

Add the soaked rice and whole green chilis. Cook on high heat, stirring occasionally until the rice comes to the surface.

Lower the heat to medium, add the cooked meat mixture, and stir well.

Drizzle kewra water over the rice and cover. Cook on low heat for about 15 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked.

Finally, stir in mustard oil or ghee, cover, and let it rest for a few minutes.

Fluff the rice gently and serve hot with a refreshing cucumber salad.
