1
Unpack and check the formula5 min

2
Par-boil the rice6 min
Boil the rice in salted water to 70% done — it should still snap in the middle — then drain immediately.
3
Layer and seal4 min
Layer the masala and rice & moong dal under the rice, scatter ghee, pepper, cashew on top, cover tight.
4
Dum on low heat7 min
Cook on the lowest flame so the steam finishes the rice without catching at the base.
5
Rest, season and serve2 min
Rest 2 minutes off the heat, taste for salt, then serve hot. Gentle heat; add chilli only at the end if you want more.
