Instructions

  • Take curd/yogurt in a bowl, add all the dry masala powder and mix well.
  • Transfer curd to the pan with ghee , and cook till yogurt leaves oil. Add the vegetables, dry fruits, raisins and salt and mix well. 
  • In a big heavy bottomed vessel spread 1-2 tbsp of curd mixed with ghee. This way the bottomed rice layer will not burn or stick to the pan. 
  • Layer, 1/3 rice to bottom and then spread half of the vegetable curry to the rice layer.
  • Again, from the remaining rice,layer half of the rice above the vegetable layer and then layer the remaining rice on the top.

  • Cover with the aluminium foil, put the pan on tawa or griddle and then cook on low flame for 30 mins. 
  • Garnish with pomegranate seeds and fresh mint leaves and serve hot with some raita of your choice or just like that with any chutney..

Notes

You can add more vegetables like cauliflower and peas or yam. Do not fry peas, just boil for few minutes. Fry the other vegetables that you add.
For layering many people add sliced tomatoes, add if you want.
Use oil in place of ghee, for the vegan version or if you want to avoid desi ghee.
