Then, the prepared meat and prepared zazharku spread evenly in pots. Put the rice on top, too, in equal amounts. and fill with water again, not forgetting the rice and water ratio of 1: 2. Water is poured so as not to mix the rice with other ingredients, i.e. it should be in the top. Then add salt and spices to taste. Cover with lid and leave the pots in a cold oven for half an hour. Then turn off the oven and leave to reach our meal. That's it, bon appetit.
