Ingredients

For the Rice

1 cup Rice normal, regular
20 pieces Soya chunks
2 Onions medium, thinly sliced
1 Carrot big, chopped
3 Green chillies slit
2 Dry red chillies
Salt as needed

For the Seasoning

3 to 4 tbsp Ghee
1 tbsp Cumin seeds
1 inch Cinnamon stick
2 Cloves
1 Cardamom
1 Bay leaf
4-5 Black peppercorns
1-2 Javitri mace
1 Black cardamom

Instructions

Bring water to a boil and add soya chunks and salt. Turn off the flame and let it soak for about 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, drain excess water and rinse with good water at least twice and then squeeze out all the water from the soya chunks and cut them into halves.
Cook the rice separately and keep it aside to cool.
Heat ghee in a kadai and add cumin seeds, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, bay leaf, dry red chilli, black pepper, javitri, and black cardamom.
Add thinly sliced onions, soya chunks, green chillies, and salt. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
Add chopped carrots and cook for a few minutes. Do not overcook the carrots; they should remain slightly crunchy.
Add the cooked rice and mix everything well.
Serve hot and enjoy the aroma of ghee with the goodness of soya chunks.
