Method:

Take rice in a microwave safe plastic bowl and wash it. Add 2 Cups (200ml) of water and soak for 30 minutes. Heat a pan and add 1tbsp ghee to it. When the ghee is hot add the raisins and fry. Fry till the raisins swell. Remove the raisins from the ghee and add cashew nuts. Fry the cashew nuts to golden brown color. Keep the raisins and cashew nuts aside for garnishing. After thirty minutes, add potato pieces, carrot pieces, capsicum pieces, green peas, sweet corn, sugar and salt to the soaked rice.

Take all the spices--caraway seeds, big cardamom, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon and bay leaves in a bowl. Add these spices to the remaining hot ghee and fry till they splutter. Add this seasoning to the rice mixture. Mix with a spoon. Place this bowl in a microwave oven partially covered with a lid. Microwave on high power for 5 minutes and then on low power (30%) for 15 minutes.

After 10 minutes standing time remove from oven, stir and mix. Add the fried raisins and cashew nuts and serve hot.
