8

Boil till half of the water has evaporated and rice is clearly visible.
9

Add 2 button red chillies.
10

Cover the pan and lower the heat. I like to "dum" steam cook my rice so I apply a cloth in between rice and the pan cover.
11

Allow it to steam cook for 8-10 minutes on low flame. Take it off the flame and let it sit covered and undisturbed for 5-6 minutes.
