- We cut in half rings 0.15 kg of onion.

- We spread the sliced pumpkin into the cauldron, mix, fry the mass for a couple of minutes.
- Pour hot water into the cauldron so that it completely covers the vegetables. Boil over high heat for 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with 2 cups of rice (rinse until the draining water is completely clear). We put the rice in a cauldron, level it with a slotted spoon, without stirring. Add water so that it covers the rice by 0.5-1 cm.
- We close the cauldron with a lid and cook pilaf over high heat until the water is absorbed from above into rice. Then we use a slotted spoon to collect rice in a small pot (without stirring) and fasten the fire to very weak. Close the cauldron again with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes.
- Mix rice with vegetables.
Pilaf is served hot.
