• Rice-1/2 kg (washed and soaked in water for half hour)
• Green Chilies-4 big (each cut into 2 lengthwise, remove seeds)
• Coriander Seeds-2 tbsp
• Fennel Seeds (sonf)-2 tbsp
• Cumin Seeds-2tbsp
• Salt-to taste
• Ghee-1/2 cup
• Water-as required

Take a thin cloth and place crushed coriander and fennel seeds in it. Tie it and make a little pouch.

Heat the oil in a pan adds that pouch, green chilies and cumin seeds. Fry for few seconds only otherwise the spices will burn very soon. Add water according to the quantity of rice.

Add salt in it, when water start boiling then covers it with lid for 1 –2 minutes. It will help in mixing all flavors of spices in water.

Now add rice and cook them on high flame. When water dries put the rice on dum for 8- 10 minutes covered on very low flame. Take out the pouch from rice before serving, which i always forget :)

Serve hot with any gravy, kebab or raita.
