the stock and keep aside.

Heat the cooking oil and add the chopped onions in a
separate pan. Fry till light golden.
Now add the meat, stock, rice and yogurt and mix
well.
Cook on medium flame till the mixture comes to a boil,
then reduce the flame to a simmer, cover and cook till
the rice is done.
Turn off the fire and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
While the rice is resting, fry the sliced onions in
cooking oil till golden. Drain and keep on paper
towels.
Open the pan and stir the rice well, taking care not to
break up the pieces of meat.
Garnish with fried sliced onions (optional) and serve
piping hot with a vegetable raita or curry dish of your
choice.
