Ingredients (for 3-4)

Steps

• Wash one glass of white rice and keep it separate. And, put 2 glasses of water to boil on the side.
• Add oil/clarified butter/ghee in heated pan and leave it for 1 minute on medium flame.
• Add Asafetida, Cumin Seeds, Cloves,Cinammon Powder and chopped onions one after the other and stir for 1-2 minutes at medium flame.
• Now, add boiling water (from first step) in pan once onions turn light pink. Let the water boil in pan at full flame for 1-2 minutes.
• Next, add washed rice in boiling water along with little salt and black pepper and make sure to turn the burner/flame low. Cover the pan and let rice cook for 15-20 minutes (keep an eye though)
• In mean time, blend red capsicum, tomatoes to make red puree.
• Also, blend green onion, mint, green chilli (optional), basil, coriander, garlic, ginger, tomato, dry pomegranate seeds (little moisture would be great) along with salt, black pepper and chat masala to make green puree.
• Now, we are ready to make rice layers. Take a bowl of any shape and coat its all sides with clarified butter (ghee). It should be big enough to create four layers of rice.
• Take enough portion of boiled white rice and create first bed layer of white rice in bowl. Please settle the rice with light hand.
• Heat the oil in pan, fry turmeric powder in the oil for 1-2 minutes and then, mix same amount of boiled rice as used in above step to make first layer. Stir it for few minutes to make sure turmeric is cooked properly. Key point to remember here is that quantity of turmeric powder should vary with amount of rice you mix (estimate is 1 small tea spoon for 1/1 glass of rice should be enough)
• You can now spread this yellow color rice on top of first white rice layer.
• Heat the oil in pan, add WILL PEPPER(degi mirch) (optional) and red puree and cook it for few minutes to dry out the water. Finally, add same amount of boiled rice as used in previous layers. Stir it for few minutes to make sure the mixture is dry enough and holding the rice together.
• You can now spread this red color rice on top of second yellow rice layer with light hand. You should have three layers by now.
• If you are using non-stick pan then you can directly pour green puree in heated pan and cook it till water dries out. Mix the same amount of boiler rice in this green puree and cook it for 1-2 minutes.
• You can now spread this green color rice on top of third red rice layer with light hand. Leave the bowl/rice for few minutes.
• Finally, Transfer bowl content on to plate carefully. You can tap on bowl sides lighly to let rice slip through. Now, you can garnish it as per your needs.
