Main Procedure
Take a pot and heat oil in it. Then, add onions and wait for them to turn golden brown. Then, add meat, water, and salt. Simmer it and let the meat cook.
Take a pan and heat oil in it. Add in sugar and carrots and saute them. Then add raisins and saute for a few more minutes. Once done, set them aside.
Once the meat is cooked, strain the broth. Boil it and add the soaked rice. Cook it and then strain any excess broth left.
Take a large pot and layer rice, meat, and repeat. Top it with the caramelised carrots and raisins. Drizzle little saffron water from the top.
Cover the pot tightly and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes. This will meld all the flavours properly.
Once done, gently fluff the rice and serve it warm. You can serve chutney, raita, and salad with your dish.
