Directions:
|
Soak the masoor in water for at least 6 hours. Boil the rice; each grain of the cooked rice should be separate. Deep-fry the sliced onion in ghee to a golden brown colour. Heat three tbsp. of ghee in a vessel and fry the chopped onion a while. Add the paste and fry for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes and fry again for two minutes.
Warm the saffron in a small vessel. Add one tsp. milk and rub in until the saffron dissolves. To the cooked rice, add the saffron, fried onions, and salt and mix well.
In a large baking bowl put two tbsp. ghee at the bottom. Make four layers by spreading one third of the rice and then spreading half of the masoor, then spreading a further 1/3 of the rice and finally the remaining masoor and rice. Cover and bake it in a hot oven at 450°F for 20 minutes. Empty the bowl upside-down on a big serving plate just before serving. Serve hot.
