  4. Rinse the rice together with the raisins under running water until light water forms. Flip it on a sieve to drain off excess moisture.
  5. In a cauldron, heat the vegetable oil until a haze appears. Lay out the meat and fry it over high heat. Then add the vegetables, stir and fry for another 3-4 minutes. Pour a glass of water, add spices, salt, garlic and, if desired, a whole pod of hot red pepper. On medium heat, then simmer for 20-30 minutes. Do not let it boil too much, otherwise the carrots and onions will simply boil and turn into porridge.
  6. Next, cover the rice with raisins, gently pour in cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. When the water level reaches the rice level, collect the slide from the edges to the center, reduce the heat to a minimum. Put a deep plate of the appropriate diameter on top of the rice, cover it, then with a clean kitchen towel and cover the whole structure with a lid.
