How to cook?

Alright! Now that you have done the hardwork of gathering all the ingredients, lets start cooking.

To cook the rice, clean it and drain out excess water.

In a flat pan, put the butter on low heat.  Now add the butter. Add the raisins and brown them. Add the almonds and turmeric powder and the cumin seeds along with the cardamom and coriander seeds. Also you can add the cinnamon at this stage. This will take around 3 minutes. Pour the water and also add he salt. Set it on low heat now and place a tight cover on the heating pan. Shut the heat. Let it  be covered for 15 minutes.

Now on the other side, you may start cooking your favorite veggies. You may add the onions and put some oil. Let it brown and cook it for around 2 minutes. Add the garlic paste along with the ginger paste. Mix it tightly. After 2 minutes, add the cauliflower, beans, potatoes (aloo), carrots. You may pour in some salt as per your taste. Let it cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the coriander seeds, cumin seeds and rest of the remnant spices. The heat has to be slightly high to cook the vegetables. Once cooked, pour the rice in the vegetables. Mix it. Cook it or about 10 minutes more. Now serve it. You may garnish it in the end.

Once ready, pour the cup of blended whisky on top of the rice.
