- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 4 cups water
- 4 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil

Rinse the basmati rice until the water runs clear. Soak in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee or oil in a large pot. Add the sliced onions and cook until they turn golden brown.
