Fry the onion in oil over medium heat for twenty minutes, to a deep brown, almost black.
Add the garlic, ginger and the remaining spices and warm them two minutes.
Add the cooked meat and the diced potato, stir and warm through five minutes.
Add the rice, pour in broth at one and a half times the volume of the rice, and season.
Bring it up, cover and cook twenty minutes on a low heat without lifting the lid. Rest it ten minutes.
