Basmati rice - 2 cups(I used Royal brand basmati rice from Costco)

Wash and soak basmati rice in 3 cups of water for 30 minutes.

Chopped mixed vegetables(carrots, Green peas and string beans) - 4 cups

(I used frozen organic mixed vegetables from Costco. I placed them in a colander and rinsed them under tap water. The taste will be much better if you can use fresh vegetables. My mom never recommends frozen vegetables).

Onion - ½(medium size, chopped into thin and long slices)

Turmeric powder - ⅓ Tsp.(optional, I always add it)

Freshly ground garam masala powder(recommended) - ⅓ Tsp.

Freshly ground ginger garlic paste - ¾ Tbsp.

Green chillies - 1 to 2(slit in half)(I used only one. You can add more according to your taste)

Salt - as needed(approximately 1 Tsp.)

Raw Cashew nuts(optional) - 10 to 15(chopped or split in half)
