Instructions

1. Fry cashew nuts and raisins in hot ghee (it also works with hot, melted butter). Add all the spices and lightly roast. Add the onion cubes and the garlic cloves and fry until translucent. Pour in 3 cups of water, add the rice and season with a little salt. Bring to the boil and let the rice soak out over a very low flame.
2. I got this recipe from an Indian woman and we love it. We prefer to eat it as a main meal without anything to go with it.
3. I like to add more cashew nuts and raisins than stated in the recipe.
