Heat ghee in a thick bottomed pan (I used a cooker to season and to cook too), as the ghee melts add the spices and fry till the aroma spreads. Add sliced onions and fry till crisp. Add the washed rice and fry for a minute. Add water and salt. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. You can transfer the contents into a pressure cooker or a rice cooker and cook accordingly.
