Wash, soak rice in water for about half an hour, and then keep it aside. Heat Coconut oil and Ghee together in a pot, better if it is a non-stick. Fry cashews, Kismis, and onions separately till it turns into a golden brown then drain to keep aside. Now add whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns, and bay leaf along with Rice and oil to fry.
