Step 1) Melt ghee in a pan and roast cashews , once they turn golden add raisins and saute until the raisins is ballooned. Take it off from the pan and keep it aside.
Now in the same pan saute onion until it turns golden brown. Once nicely browned take it out and keep it aside.(be careful while sauteing do not burn the onions , it may taste bitter)
Step 2) Again in the same ghee (or you can add more if you prefer) add the whole spices - Cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaves, cloves and star anise.
Then add crushed Ginger, green chilies and saute it until raw smell of ginger is gone.
Then add Onion and saute until translucent.
Step 3) Then add the soaked basmati rice, I have used 2 cups of basmati rice washed and soaked in water for 20 minutes.Mix it well with the ghee and cook for 2 minutes. Then add water and required salt . Cover and cook until all the water is absorbed by the rice or until the rice is 100% done.
Step 4) Finally add ghee for more flavor and also add the roasted nuts, fried onions and some coriander or mint leaves on the top and turn off the heat.
