Heat ghee in a heavy bottom pan. Add jeera and mustard seeds to crackle. Add hing. Then add the grinded onion-tomato mixture.

Let it cook on medium flame till it cooks. It will take around 10 minutes. Add salt, turmeric powder and garam masala. Give a good mix.

Cover it with a lid and let it cook for 10 more minutes so that rice gets cooked completely(as done in dum biryani)

Fried onions are also added but I didn't add today..
No khada masala added... Garam masala has all khada masala freshly dry roasted and grinded
