Wash the basmati rice and let it soak for 20 minutes.
In a pan, add oil and fry the paneer until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Fry cashews and raisins in the same oil and set them aside.
In a pressure cooker, add ghee and heat it.
Once the ghee is hot, add cumin seeds, bay leaves, star anis, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamoms, black cardamom, and black pepper. Sauté for a few seconds.
Add chopped onion, green chili, and ginger-garlic paste. Fry until the onion turns golden brown.
Add green peas, carrot, and soaked rice. Mix well.
Add water, salt, garam masala, and lemon juice. Stir everything together.
Cover the pressure cooker and cook on high flame until one whistle. Turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally.
Open the cooker, fluff the rice gently, and garnish with fried paneer and cashews. Serve hot.
Soak the rice for 20 minutes to ensure it cooks evenly and doesn't break.
Fry the paneer lightly to enhance its flavor and texture.
Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer green chilies.
Use fresh peas and carrots for the best taste.
Let the pressure release naturally to avoid overcooking the rice.
