When the water starts boiling, the fire should be lowered and remove the lid to make a gap. After a while, the lid is again covered stirring the mixture. The more stir, the more the rice will break and the mixture will be more delicious. At the end, add rest of the onion and fry them with oil or butter in a pan, mix well and put off the fire.
