The crushed wheat is washed, put into the pot, chopped onions, meat, salt and water are poured until it reaches 4 fingers and put into the tandoor. When the pilaf is cooked, it is taken out of the tandoor and poured into a copper tray. The bones of the cooked meat are removed. On the other hand, red pepper flakes are sprinkled on the hot butter melted in a pan, poured over rice and taken to the table.
