• Fresh grated ginger (1 teaspoon)
• Fresh or canned peas
• 1 tablespoon ghee
• Two cups of the meat cooking broth for each cup of rice
• Salt

Method

1. We start by boiling the meat. After skimming off any foam, add the seasonings to the meat covered with plenty of water and simmer over low heat until it is cooked and very tender.
2. In a pot, sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic in one tablespoon of ghee until softened, then add the remaining vegetables one by one: the finely chopped or grated carrots, the peas, and the grated ginger.
3. When the vegetables have softened, add the meat broth and let it boil for 5 minutes with the vegetables. Then add the washed and drained rice, adjust the salt, sprinkle in the spices, and stir.
   Timers: 5 min
4. When the broth comes to a boil and reaches the level of the rice, reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let the rice cook. It needs 20 to 30 minutes at most.
