Bou Khuda Recipe

• Soak broken rice in water for 15 minutes.
• Peel the potato skin and cut it into matchstick-like pieces.
• Soak the potatoes in water as well.
• Chop Onion roughly.
• Now heat oil in a deep bottom pan and fry the potatoes in medium flame.
• Strain fried potatoes from oil.
• Temper remaining oil with Bay leaf, Dry Red Chili, and Cinamon stick.
• Add chopped onion and fry till it turns light pink in color.
• Now add garlic paste, green peas, and also green chilies and cook over low flame till the raw aroma of garlic goes away.
• At this point discard the water and add soaked rice to the pan and fry for five minutes over the low flame.
• Add salt and also sugar and mix lightly.
• Pour boiling water over the rice. The water must cover the rice and the water must reach 1" above the rice as shown in the picture.
• Lightly mix and cover the pan with a lid and cook over low flame for 7-8 minutes.
• Open the lid and check in between.
• Once the water evaporated completely add fried potatoes and lightly mix.
• Now add ghee and mix it.
• Switch the flame off and serve Bou Khuda hot.
• I prefer to add a handful of cashew nuts which is completely optional.
