Add the broken cashew nuts and fry until golden brown color.


Now add the sliced onions, ¼ tsp of salt and saute well until it changes to light golden brown color.

Now measure the amount of coriander + tomato + green Chilli paste and add it to the pressure cooker. [For 2 cups of rice you will need 3 cups of water, if you have 1 cup of coriander paste then add 2 more cup of water]. Add required water, according to the amount of coriander paste.


Add red chilli powder, turmeric powder to the cooker.
