- The water level should be slightly less than the level of the rice,this is to ensure that all the water dries up by the time the rice is cooked and that the rice is not over cooked.

- Now pour a small amount of vegetable oil into a frying pan. This quantity of oil should be such that it would be absorbed by 1 part of the cooked rice and 1 part each of the vegetables.When the oil is hot,add 1 part of diced onions and stir for 10 seconds,followed by 1 part of diced cow liver,one part each of the diced vegetables,then 1 part of cooked rice.
- Add more salt if necessary More curry powder may also be added at this stage if you need to touch up on the colour.Stir till all the ingredients have mixed well and transfer to a dry pot.Repeat this for the remaining batches of the ingredients.
