• Add rice and fry for 5-6 min stirring continuously

 

• Add water, salt and pressure cook ( I go for 1 whistle. After the whistle immediately remove the cooker from the stove. Once the steam goes remove the lid and keep the cooker open)
• Heat ghee in a pan and fry sliced onions, raisins and nuts. Garnish with the same. Pour the left over ghee over the cooked rice. Serve hot with nadan chicken curry, nadan mutton curry
