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 dhan-saak dal.
