2 medium sized onions, sliced finely
2 tbsp ghee(clarified butter)
A pinch of saffron(orange coloring)

1 cup deep fried onion slices for garnish

Method
Combine together ingredients 3 to 15 and mix well.
Add the vegetables to it and let it marinate for
about 1/2 hr.
Heat the ghee in a pan and add the cashewnuts,
cinnammon, cardamom and cloves.
Fry for 15 seconds and add the sliced onion.
When the onions turn transparent, add the marinated
vegetables and without adding any water, cook the
vegetables on medium heat till the masala is well
cooked and turns aromatic.
The vegetables should be completely done.
The masala will reduce and lose all moisture.
Set aside.
Wash the rice and steam cook it such that individual
grains can be separated.
Dissolve the saffron in the milk.
Take about one cup of cooked rice and add the saffron to it.
Now mix this colored rice with the rest of the cooked rice,
so that you get streaks of orange in the rice.
In a deep oven-safe bowl, pour this rice and spread to
cover the entire bottom of the vessel.
Pour the vegetables on top and spread evenly.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 20 minutes
at 300 deg f.
Remove foil and serve hot, garnished with chopped herbs
and fried onions.
