Black pepper, 1/4 flat teaspoon

Preparation

1. Boil about 2 liters of water in a pot, add the 1 tablespoon of salt and rice, cook for about 8 minutes (partial cooking) while stirring occasionally and strain.
2. Fry the onion in 2 tablespoons of the oil in a pan until golden. Add the carrot, 0.25 teaspoon of the curry powder and the black pepper, and continue to fry for about 5 minutes. Remove to a separate bowl.
3. Add the almonds to the oil left in the pan and lightly brown. Add the raisins and cranberries, stir for another minute and turn off the heat (about a third of the amount can be saved for decoration).
4. In a small casting pot heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, add the turmeric and a 0.25 teaspoon of the remaining curry powder and mix. Add about 0.33 of the amount of rice and cover the bottom of the pot.
5. Add the fried vegetables and dried fruits to the rest of the rice and mix. Add to the pot, straighten and tighten slightly. Simmer for about 5 minutes over high heat (to create a golden and crispy bottom).
6. Mix in 0.5 cup of boiling water the salt and oil, and gradually pour over the rice.
7. Cover the pot and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes until ready.
