Steps

1

Boil the meat and let it dry. Add the cooking oil and let the meat turn golden brown
2

Add onions (leave like 2 tablespoons for later), Hoho, ginger and garlic till turns golden brown
3

Add tomatoe paste and grated carrot (optional- I prefer using it especially if kids/ patients with ulcers will be eating)... Cover for 3 mins and stir till there is no trace of water/ soup
4

Add the other spices and allow to fully mix
5

Add rice and fold in gently till the rice absorbs the oil
6

Add the hot water
7

Add in the Dhania leaves and remaining onions and fold in gently
8

Cover and allow to boil till water is fully absorbed into the rice. Turn off source of heat.
9

Cover with cling film/Alluminium foil and allow to settle for 20mins (important step as it helps retain moist thus evenly ensure it's evenly cooked)
10

Serve while hot with salad and drink of choice
