Steps

1. Wash the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for 30 minutes.

5. Stir in the pureed tomato and cook for 5 minutes until the oil separates from the mixture.
6. Add Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.
