Wash and soak the rice for 30 minute.

In a large pot, heat the 1 tsp each of ghee and oil.

When the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and powdered spices.

Stir for a minute then add the onions.

10
Toss well, check and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle dried parsley for color.

Note 1: The spices are best when powdered freshly in a mortar and pestle. If you don't want to, use a pinch each of already powdered spices.
12
Note 2: Adjust quantity of onions if you're not fond of them. Substitute yellow onions if you prefer a milder taste.
13
Note 3: Skip the serrano pepper if you don't like the heat. Just add freshly ground pepper instead.
