Recipe
1
Boil the soaked Basmati rice in water until it is about 80 percent cooked, then drain excess water and set aside.
2
Heat desi ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan and lightly fry the cashews, almonds, and raisins until golden brown; remove and keep aside.
3
In the same remaining ghee, add crushed cardamoms, cloves, and cinnamon stick, letting them sizzle for a few seconds.
4
Add sugar and water to the pan, stirring continuously until the sugar completely dissolves and forms a light syrup.
5
Gently fold in the partially cooked rice, saffron milk, and yellow food color, taking care not to break the grains.
6
Cover the pan with a tight lid and let it simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes until the rice absorbs all the syrup and becomes tender.
7
Gently fluff the rice, stir in the fried dry fruits and rose water, then serve warm.
