In a large skillet or tawa, heat ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, cloves, and cardamom pods. Saute for a minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly tender.
Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the mixture is well-combined.
Add yogurt to the vegetable mixture and stir well. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the oil starts to separate.
Drain the soaked basmati rice and add it to the skillet. Gently mix the rice with the vegetable mixture to ensure it is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle garam masala over the rice and gently mix everything together.
Pour 2 cups of water into the skillet, cover with a lid, and let the rice cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until it is perfectly cooked.
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serve hot with your favorite raita or side salad for a complete meal that will tantalize your taste buds!
