- Soak the rice Firstly wash the rice properly and soak it in water for about 20 minutes. In 4 tbsp of warm water soak the saffron strands and let them sit aside.
- Make jaggery syrup Now take a pot, add jaggery, fennel seeds, cinnamon stick, crushed cardamom along with 1 cup water. Mix well and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes. Now add 2 pinches of salt and soaked saffron to it. Give a mix.
- Fry the dry fruits Now add ghee to a kadhai and let it heat up. Add cashews, almonds, raisins and fry them. Stir and cook until the raisins puff up and cashews, almonds turn light brown in colour. Take out the dry fruits and set them aside.
- Cook the rice In the leftover ghee, add the soaked rice, along with 1 cup of water and cover with a lid. Cook the rice until all the water has been absorbed. The rice might seem a bit raw but don't worry, we'll cook them more in jaggery syrup.
- Add jaggery syrup Now pour the jaggery syrup into the kadhai. Let it cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the rice absorbs the jaggery syrup. Also, add the fried nuts and give a good mix. Cook for last two minutes and turn off the flame.
