Soak the rice for half an hour. Drain and set aside.

Heat ghee in a pot. Add the spices and cumin seeds to it. When the cumin seeds splutter add the green chilli and drained rice. Saute the rice for a few minutes.

Add 2 cups water and salt to the rice and mix. Bring the rice to a quick boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook till the water has evaporated.
