Instructions

1

Cook Basmati Rice:

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add soaked and drained Basmati rice, ghee, cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and salt. Cook the rice until it's 70-80% done. Drain excess water.
2

Prepare Vegetable Layer:

In a separate pan, heat oil. Sautรฉ sliced onions until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste, mixed vegetables, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook until vegetables are partially tender. Mix in yogurt and garam masala. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
3

Layering and Dum Cooking:

In a heavy-bottomed pan, layer half-cooked rice and the partially cooked vegetable mixture in alternate layers. Drizzle ghee over the top layer. Optionally, add fried onions, cashews, and raisins. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid. Cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld (this is known as "dum" cooking).
4

Garnish and Serve:

Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves. Gently fluff the rice and mix the layers before serving.
