In a wide pan or kadai, saute onion in oil till translucent, and then add the vermicelli and lightly fry it then add the 1 cup chicken stock and bring it to a boil then add the rice and give it a quick stir. Reduce the flame and cover and cook till rice is full done and all moisture is evaporated. Add the butter and loosen the rice.
