Makhani chawal

Makhani chawal is a traditional dish originating from Punjab. Also known as buttered rice, the dish is usually made with a combination of basmati rice, butter, cashews, cumin seeds, and salt. The cumin seeds are stir-fried in butter over medium heat, and the rice is then added to the pan and fried for a few more minutes. The mixture is covered with water, seasoned with salt, and simmered until done. The cashews are fried in butter until golden, and then mixed with the fluffy buttered rice.
