Method

  1. 1

    Toast the cashews

    Heat 1 tbsp of the ghee and toast the cashews until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the onion

    Add the remaining ghee and sauté the onion for 6 minutes until golden.

  3. 3

    Add vegetables and rice

    Stir in the mixed vegetables, cook 2 minutes, then add the drained rice and stir for a minute to coat.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Add the water and salt, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 12 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish

    Rest covered for 8 minutes, then fluff gently and fold in the toasted cashews before serving.

Nitra tip

Toast the cashews separately and fold them in at the end — simmered in with the rice the whole time, they lose their crunch.
