# Clean the
rice, rest in warm salty water which also includes a few drops of
lemon juice, for half an hour. At the end of the resting time, wash the
rice for a few times with cold water, drain.
# Put 1/2 cup vegetable oil into the pot and make it hot. Add drained
rice and salt in it. Roast it over medium heat for 5 minute by stirring constantly.
# Add 3 cups broth or water in it. Firstly, cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, then cook over low heat for 10 minutes (20 minutes total). Place a paper towel between the pot and its lid and rest the pilaf for half an hour.
# Meanwhile prepare the meatballs; grate the
onion onto the
bread slice, mix it for a while. Add ground meat, salt and black
pepper in it, knead it for a while. Shape them as grapes.
# Put 4 tbsp vegetable oil into a large skillet and make it hot. Add the meatballs in it. Cook the meatballs totally by shaking the skillet time to time. Pour the mixture of
tomato paste and 1/2 cup water, all over the meatballs. Cover the lid of the pot and cook it for about 15 minutes over low heat.
# Stir the rested pilaf gently without mashing the
rice. Fill a wet bowl by forcing a little onto the pilaf, then reverse the pot onto a service plate.
# Place the meatballs over the pilaf and serve it hot.
