Method
Wash the basmati rice 3 times and then soak for 10 minutes.
In a pressure cooker, heat ghee and add all the whole spices. Saute until aromatic, then add the green chilli and onion. Saute until the onion turns translucent.
Add the ginger garlic paste and saute, followed by the tomato. Saute until the tomato softens.
Add all the vegetables, mint leaves, coriander leaves, salt and garam masala powder. Saute for 1 minute.
Add the soaked rice, lemon juice and the water. Cover and pressure cook for 1 whistle on medium heat. Allow the pressure to release naturally.
Once the steam has settled, fluff up the rice with a fork. Serve with any gravy or with onion raita.
