Green Chilly- 2 to 4
Ginger-1/2 inch
Garlic cloves-2 to 6
Coriander leaves-1/2 cup
Pudeena Leaves-1/2 cup
Onion  finely chopped
Garam Masala- cardamom,cloves,star anise,bay leaf
Vegetables of choice finely chopped

Lemon Juice


Process:

Make a paste of green chilly,ginger,garlic,coriander leaves,pudina leaves.
In a cooker, add ghee and heat it.
Add garam masala and fry it.
Add chopped onion, vegetables and stir it.
Now put the above paste and mix it well.

After evenly mixed, add rice to which add coconut milk and water in even proportion.
For 1 cup of rice , add 1 cup of coconut milk and 1 cup of water.

You can replace ghee with vegetable oil if you are more health conscious, but ghee has its own taste.
