Method

1. Put a little ghee or oil in the pot, add the pieces of meat and turn them for a few minutes to remove the raw pink color.
2. Add hot water over the meat and leave to boil, then completely remove the scum that appears on the surface.
3. Add the onion, the remaining seasonings, and salt, then cover and simmer on low heat until the meat pieces are tender... you can use a pressure cooker to speed up the process.
4. After the meat is cooked, let it cool slightly and begin preparing the rice.
5. Heat a little oil or ghee in a pot, add the washed and drained rice, and stir well.
6. Add the seven-spice mix and continue stirring until the rice absorbs all the oil or ghee and is lightly toasted.
7. Strain the meat broth from the seasonings and add 4 cups of the broth over the rice, adjusting the salt to taste.
8. Leave the pot on high heat until the water boils, then reduce the heat and cover the pot.
9. Leave it on low heat until the rice is cooked.
10. Pour the rice into a wide serving dish, add the pieces of meat on top, and garnish with nuts.
