  • ¼ teaspoon shahi zeera (black cumin)
  • 1 medium size onion, finely sliced
  • 3 slit green chillies
  • 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
  • 4 mint leaves
  • ½ tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups basmati rice (soaked for 25 to 30 minutes)
  • salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extracted juice

Instructions
 

  • Take a cooking pot, add oil and heat it.
  • Add whole spices such as cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, shahi zeera and saute for few seconds.
  • Add sliced onions and saute until they turn slight brown or pinkish in color.
  • Add slit green chilies, chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves and mix.
  • Add ginger garlic paste and saute for few minutes.
  • Add 4 cups water into it.
  • Add salt as per taste and also add lemon extracted juice.
  • Bring the water to a boil.
  • Add soaked basmati rice into it and give a stir.
  • Cook on medium flame.
  • Let all the water absorb and keep stirring in between.
  • Once the water is absorbed reduce the heat to low.
  • Give a mix, cover the lid tightly.
  • Put on dum for 3-4 minutes until the rice is completely cooked.
  • Switch off the flame and serve hot.

Notes

  • Additional ingredients such as garam masala powder can be added.
  • Some prefer the color of the rice to be dark brown and in that case the onions have to be made into golden color and if less color in rice is preferred then just saute them until pinkish color.
  • If ordinary rice is used then no need to soak but if one wishes to soak then do it for 5 to 10 minutes.
