Steps

1

Pour 2 cups (about 480 ml) of water into a pot and bring it to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon oil, then add the washed rice. Cook until the rice is about 80% done, then drain the water.
2

In a separate pan, heat the ghee and lightly roast the cashews and almonds. Add the sugar and stir until it starts to melt, then pour in the milk.
3

When the milk comes to a boil, add a pinch of orange food coloring and mix well. Add the cooked rice, cover, and cook on low heat until the milk is fully absorbed. Turn off the heat.
4

Your Meetha Chawal is ready. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with chopped coconut, and serve.

Note: For best results, cook the rice ahead of time or a little earlier so it doesn't get mushy and stays fluffy.
