Method
Wash and soak the basmati rice for 20 mins. To clean the jackfruit, use some oil on your hands and a sharp knife to peel the jackfruit and dice it, remove any larger seeds. Soak the jackfruit in water after cleaning. Marinate the jackfruit with all the other ingredients mentioned under marination. Marinate this for 30 mins, if you have the time.
In a pressure cooker, heat the oil and ghee. Add bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and fry for 30 seconds. Add the cashew and raisins and fry till golden. Add the onions and fry until golden. Add the green chillies.
Add the marinated jackfruit, and water and cook until 75% cooked, about 6-8 mins. Add the coconut milk. Add the salt and bring it to a boil.
Add the soaked rice and pressure cook this for 2 whistles and switch off/ for 15 mins on a low flame. Let the pressure settle down on its own.
Open the pressure cooker, add 1 tbsp of melted ghee, and fluff the rice. Garnish with fried onions and serve hot with raita.
