Ingredients:

• 2 cups Rice

• 1 Onion, sliced
• Green chillies, as per taste
• A small bunch of Coriander Leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon Jeera (Cumin Seeds)
• A small piece of Cinnamon
• 1 Tej Patta (Bay Leaf)

• 2 Cloves
• 1 Cardamom Pod
• 1 teaspoon Ghee
• Salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon Oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice:

   • In a thick-bottomed vessel, heat 1 teaspoon of ghee over medium heat.
   • Fry the raw rice for a minute or two.
   • Add 1:2 water (2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover. Cook until the rice is done and water is absorbed. Set aside.

2. Cook the Vegetables and Spices:

   • In another thick-bottomed vessel, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
   • Add the Tej Patta, Jeera, Cloves, Cardamom, and Cinnamon stick. Fry until light brown.
   • Add the Garam Masala, Dhaniya Powder, and Amchur Powder. Fry for another minute.
   • Add the vegetables and cook without adding extra water until they are tender.

3. Combine Rice and Vegetables:

   • Add the cooked rice to the vegetable mixture.
   • Add salt to taste and mix well.
   • If using a pressure cooker, close the lid and cook based on the number of whistles your cooker needs.
   • If cooking in a vessel on the stove, once the water starts boiling, reduce the flame to low, cover the vessel, and cook until done.

4. Final Touch:

   • Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and optionally cashews fried in ghee.
   • Serve hot.
