Ingredients:

• 120g Basmati rice (long grained rice)
• 240g water
• 1 medium size onion (red, sliced thinly)
• ¼ cup green peas (frozen)
• ¼ cup french beans (chopped)
• ¼ cup cauliflower (chopped into tiny florets)
• ¼ cup carrot (chopped)
• ½ cup golden raisins
• ¼ cup halved cashew nuts

Seasonings:

• 2 cardamom pods
• 2 cloves
• 2 small ½ inch long cinnamon sticks
• ½ tsp tumeric powder
• 1 bay leaf
• Oil for cooking (I used olive oil instead of ghee)
• Salt to taste
• Pinch of sugar

• Wash and drain rice on a kitchen towel. 
• When it is slightly dry, heat 2 tbsp oils in a large pan and splutter cardamon, cinnamon sticks, cloves and bay leaf. 
• Add in rice and tumeric powder and stir continuously for 2-3 mins in low heat and keep aside.
• Heat 2 tbsp oil in the same pan and stir-fry the raisins until they turn plump or look like golden grapes and keep aside.
• Fry the cashew nuts in the same oil until they turn into golden colour. 
• Drain both the nuts and raisin in a kitchen towel.
• With the remaining oil, saute all the veggies for 2-3 mins in low heat, add in salt, and stir-fry until they are well-coated with the oil and cooked slightly.
• Remove the veggies and add more oils to the pan to fry the thinly sliced onions until they turn into golden brown. then add a pinch of sugar to the onion while frying so that it will give a taste of nice caramelised onions.
• Remove the fried onions and drain them on kitchen tower.
• Keep a spoonful of fried nuts, raisins and half of the fried onions for garnishing later.
• As I used AMC cooking pot, I mixed everything together and add in water.
• Cook with medium high heat. When the timer showed 2 o’clock, use a fork to gently separate the rice so as not to get stickly to the bottom of the pot. 
• Cover the lid again and continue to cook with medium heat until the timer hit 3 o’clock. 
• Off the heat and wait until the timer moved back to 12 o’clock (so that the rice will be fully cooked)
• Garnish with the rest of the nuts, raisins and & onion and serve.

The Mexican rice is also very good and adds a rice flavor to the burritos. The sauce is a combination of plain yogurt, mayonnaise, and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.
