Wash the basmati rice thoroughly and let it soak for half an hour. Drain the excess water.
In a pressure cooker, heat ghee and add cinnamon, green cardamom, cloves, black peppercorn, cashews, almonds, dried coconut, and raisins. Fry them until aromatic.
Add the soaked rice to the cooker and sauté gently for one to two minutes.
Mix in salt and sugar, ensuring the rice is evenly coated.
Add saffron, water, and orange food color (if using). Stir gently to combine.
Close the pressure cooker lid and cook on medium flame for one whistle. Then reduce the flame to low and let it cook for ten to twelve minutes.
Once the pressure is released, open the lid and serve the sweet rice hot.
Ensure the rice is soaked properly to achieve the perfect texture.
Adjust the sugar quantity based on your preference for sweetness.
Adding orange food color is optional but enhances the visual appeal of the dish.
Use fresh coconut slices for a richer flavor.
Let the pressure release naturally for best results.
