Ghee Rice / Simple Pulao

Another receipe from my mother.
This is a great dish to have with Vegetable Kurma

• Rice 1 cup
• Ghee 3 tbsp (Use butter if you dont have Ghee)
  
• Cashews - 6
• Raisins - 15 (optionally)
• Green Chilies - 2
• Cilantro - 1/2 cup
• Spices: 1/2 inch cinnamon bark; 2 cloves; 2 cardamoms

o Soak rice for 10 mins
o Dry heat and grind the spices
o In a wide pan heat the ghee, add spices and then the cashews and raisins
o Add chilies and then add rice and fry for 5 mins
o Add cilantro and salt and add 1 1/2 cup water and cook in pressure cooker
o If you want to cook in the wide pan, you need more water ( I will update the recipe with the rice/water ratio after testing this method)
