- Take a heavy bottom pan and add 1 tbsp ghee to it. Fry the dry fruit separately at low flame as to light golden in colour. Make sure they don’t get burnt.
- In the same pan, add cloves, cinnamon stick, black cardamom, few kesar strands and add rice and water. Let the rice cook for 15-20 min. They should be 3/4th cooked.
- Strain the rice and keep aside. In the same heavy bottom pan add the left ghee and add sugar along with 2-4 tbsp of water. Let the sugar dissolve and then add the semi cooked rice to it. Give this mix a gentle stir and cover the pan with lid. (This all at low flame)
- Let the rice cook completely but make sure they don’t get mushy. Add half of the fried dry fruits, add green cardamom powder and mix gently.
- Garnish with left over fried dry fruits and few kesar strands and Serve hot.
