Directions

Wash meat and cut into 1-inch cubes.

Slice the onions finely and fry them in the oil until crisp and golden brown.

Remove onions and put two-thirds into the meat mixture.

Soak the rice for one hour before cooking.

Fill large pan ¾ full with water.

Put rice spices and salt into the water and bring to a boil.

Add the rice and remove from heat after six minutes.

Drain thoroughly without rinsing and spread onto a large flat dish to cool.

In a large pan, put in the meat and yogurt mixture and cover with the rice; pour in the spiced oil from the onions and the saffron/milk mixture.

Bring to a boil, then put in the oven for 1 hour or more.

After 30 minutes, reduce heat.
