1

Heat a large burner and add 3 pounds of ghee until it melts and warms up.

2

Chop 1 kilogram of onions and add them to the ghee, cooking until they turn light golden brown.

3

Add 4 kilograms of meat (approximately 250-300 grams per piece) and 800-850 grams of bones to the pot.

4

Sprinkle 6 tablespoons of salt over the meat and mix well to ensure it is evenly coated.

5

Add enough water to submerge the meat completely, then cover the pot and bring to a boil on high heat.

6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook for about 1.5 hours.

7

Soak 4 kilograms of sela rice in water for 2 hours, then drain the water before adding it to the pot.

8

Add water to the pot, ensuring the rice is submerged, using double the amount of water compared to rice.

9

Taste the mixture and add 2 tablespoons of salt if needed, then gently stir to distribute the salt without breaking the rice.

10

Cover the pot with a damp cloth and a lid, then place a weight on top to steam the rice for at least 30 minutes.
