Process:  Rinse the rice properly and put it on a stainer till the water removes.  After that, adds Sugar, Shahjeera, Shahmarich, Curd, Yellow food colour, and Salt. Mix all these ingredients properly with the basmati rice and keep it aside. Then heat the pressure cooker properly to ensure that pressure should be dry. Then put ghee on the heated pressure cooker, and then add Bay leaf, Cardamom (both small & big), Clove, and Cinnamon into it. Fry all these ingredients lightly. Next, we have to add Cashew nut and resins into the contents and continue further frying till the cashew nut turns light brown. Then add the rice mixture (which was kept aside previously) into the fried contents and stir it well. Next, we have to add 9 & ½ cup of water into the pressure cooker and close the lid of the cooker and for a whistle. After one whistle, put the flame off and wait till the lid opens.
