Notes
* I avoid soaking Basmati rice in water, rather I just wash the rice and drain the water completely 20 minutes before I start cooking. This will avoid the rice from overcooking.
For this Recipe you can also use seeraga samba rice as well for this dish.
Add Green chillies if you are a spicy lover.
I have used both oil and ghee however, you can use either oil or ghee.
