Put oil and onions in a sufuria then let them cook until onions are golden brown

Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 2 minutes then add a little water to stop the sticking of onions on the sufuria

Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and salt together with pilau masala then close and leave them to cook

Add enough water to cook the rice then allow it to boil before adding the rice

Using a cooking stick stir the rice so it doesn't stick on the surface.

Reduce the heat and close to allow it cook moderately

Use a foil to wrap on the sufuria or if it's a jiko use a lid to cover and put charcoal on top to cook moderately

When ready allow it to cool before serving
