Once brown add the garlic ginger paste. Let brown a bit.

Add the masala, stir to mix well.
4

Add the tomato paste and mix well.

Add the washed rice and stir thoroughly.

Add the water and salt. Stir and let it boil covered until water reduces.

At this stage I put a few hot coals on top and reduce heat. If using gas I just reduce heat to minimum. It can also be put in the oven at the lowest heat.
