Add the pilau masala and all spices of your choice.

Wash the rice well the add it to the sufuria with the meat the stir well till everything is well mixed

Add water just enough to cover the rice in the sufuria. Make sure you do not drown the rice in water.

Wait for the water to dry up in the sufuria then lower the heat if you are using a gas cooker but if you are using a jiko remove some of the makaa so as to prevent it from burning then cover it and place the hot makaa you removed on the cover /lid of the sufuria

Cook for 20-25 minutes
