Method:

1.)Soak the Basmati rice for 20 mins in normal room temperature water before cooking and keep it
    aside.

2.)Now heat the pressure pan and pour olive oil as said above.

3.)Now put the nutmeg , cloves and star anise as said.

4.)After the three spices turn little brown, put the chopped ginger and garlic pieces and fry them.

5.)Now add the green chillies as per your requirement.

6.)Now add the chopped vegetables and fry them.

7.)Now add salt as per your requirement.

8.)Add white pepper as per your spice flavour but remember you have already added green chillies
    too.

9.)Now add the soaked basmati rice and pour water.

    Water Measurement- For one cup of basmati rice pour, 1 and half cup water.The cup which i have
                                      shown in my measurements post.(Pls refer)

10.)Now close the lid and just give only two whistles and turn off.

11.)Now the fried rice part is ready.

12.)Now heat the pan and just sprinkle olive oil again and saute the chopped capsicums.Add sugar
      as per the said quantity and fry them.

Dont get panic at this stage you have to stir continously as the capsicums will get sticky due to less oil and we have added sugar also. Nothing will happen just fry them continously.

13.)Now add the chopped spring onions to it and fry them along.

Note:Do not add salt in this. We have already added in the whole fried rice itself.

14.)Add this mixture to the main fried rice,squeeze lemon as said in the above quantity.

Raita:

1.)Take fresh curd as said above.

2.)Put the chopped onions in the curd and mix well.

3.)Now add salt as required(it should not be full salt, a pinch or two is only recommended).

4.)Mix well and garnish with coriander.

Now serve hot fried rice with raita.

Note:

1.)If you prefer, you can add chaat masala to the raita.

2.)Do not use sour curd as it well turn out the raita in a very bad taste after an hour itself.

3.)If you soak the rice for 20 mins before cooking, the rice will not be sticky.

4.)If you add white pepper,check your chillies quantity as white pepper will immediately increase
    the spice flavour.So balance both of them and cook.

Bon Appetit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
