| 1. (Masala, a ground mixture of different spices, is available from Indian shops). | 2. Boil rice, cassia, cardamom and salt in sufficient water to cover. Drain and set aside.

Cook for 10 minutes over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or more until meat is tender. | 10. (Okay, I won't make it this way, but this is true-blue Malay down to all that oil! Which you can reduce!). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
