2 lbs boneless lamb or chicken, cut into cubes
1 cup basmati rice, soaked for 30 minutes and drained
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger paste

Salt to taste

Heat 1 tablespoon ghee in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add half of the onion and cook, stirring, until brown browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
