Brown Rice

A traditional Parsi delicacy which is made using caramelised onions and sugar which together
impart a deep brown colour to this rice. This recipe dismisses the common notion that browning
onions requires loads of oil since the fact is that the same results can be achieved by cooking in a
non-stick vessel using just a teaspoon of oil. Serve this aromatic rice with the spicy han-saak
al.
