i'm ashamed how i can relate to this, my bariis makes white rice taste good.
Bro get a rice cooker. All u need to do is. Get an onion Cut it in half but dice it up cutting from the middle with a slight angle so it creates nicely fine diced cut of onion similar to how u cut tomatos into nice slices.
Have the rice-cooker at warm, then get all your seasoning ready and add half cup of olive oil in there, throw the onion onto the rice cooker and turn the rice cooker to cook. When u hear a sizzle begin, throw all your seasoning in there and quickly give it a stir, then throw in the cups of rice you want and mix it around it so it evenly spreads through it then throw cups of water depending how much rice u cooking and then sprinkle stock over it and close the lid.
You can add Hayl after it's all done to get that aromatic smell of beautiful bariis, I do it if guests come over but u wont need that as a single bachelor.
