4 Peeled carrots and sliced thinly

500 grams of Peeled pumpkin, cut into wedges

600 grams of Washed and drained long-grain rice

1 Cinnamon stick

4 Cloves

1 tablespoon of Rose water

2 Beaten eggs

1 pinch of Pepper

1 pinch of Salt

Oil

Preparation

Step 1 : In a pot with a lid that can go into the oven, heat the oil.

Step 2 : Add the onion and sauté until golden, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring preferably with a wooden spoon.

Step 3 : Then add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.

Step 4 : Remove the vegetables and set aside.

Step 5 : Next, add the meat to the same pot and brown on all sides for about 7 to 10 minutes.

Step 6 : It may be necessary to do this in parts, as overfilling the pot can prevent the meat from browning properly due to lack of space for juices.

Step 7 : Remove the meat and place it on another plate, then remove the pot from the heat but keep the oil inside.

Step 8 : Preheat the oven to medium-high temperature and evenly distribute potato slices at the bottom of the pot, followed by a layer of carrot and then pumpkin.

Step 9 : Add the rice, meat, and spread the onion and garlic on top.

Step 10 : Add the quince slices, cinnamon stick, and cloves.

Step 11 : Season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with rose water.

Step 12 : Mix the two beaten eggs with 2 cups of water and add to the pot, making sure all the ingredients are covered; if necessary, add more water.

Step 13 : Place the pot in the oven at medium heat and cook for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to very low and cook for 8 to 10 hours, or you can leave it until the next day.

Step 14 : To serve, you can present it in the same pot or a similar dish, garnished with chopped green onion.
