Notes
- Tempering - While tempering adding ghee with oil adds flavor to the dish. If you don't want whole spices flavor just temper with mustard seeds and cumin seeds. replace garam masala powder with sambar powder.
- Rice variety - You can use raw rice or basmati rice or use regular cooking rice.
- Cooking rice - I use 1 cup rice : 2 cups water ratio. You can even cook rice using straining method. Make sure to cook rice grain separated.
- Oil - Use peanut oil or any cooking oil.
- Carrots - You can grate and use or use finely chopped carrots. Use fresh carrots for best taste.
- Nuts - Instead of cashews, you can even add ghee fried peanuts.
- Others - You can add capsicum along with carrots if you like the flavor.
