• Cut the meat in cubes.
• Heat the oil in a large enough sauce pan until it is very hot.
• Add and fry the meat for about 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, slice the onions, chop the pepperonis & parseley as shown.
• Add the 3 and continue frying for about 5 minutes. Add 2 slightly heaped teaspoons of pulao masala spices.
• Turn on the oven and pre-heat to 200°C.
• Add the rice and continue stir frying for 5 – 8 minutes.
• Add enough water to just cover the other contents. Hot water shortens the cooking time. Bring to the boil.
• Add salt to taste.
• Cover the pan with an aluminium foil or fitting heat-resistant cover.
• Bake for about 40 minutes OR until the water has been fully absorbed and the rice is ready.
• Serve and enjoy.

Alternatively, the rice can be prepared to the end on a normal flame, like other rice dishes, without using an oven.
