1/2 tsp. cumin seeds
3 cloves
1" cinnamon
3 cardamoms
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp. ghee
1 cup canned chopped mixed fruit (drained)
2-3 edible rose petals

Method:

Wash and soak rice for 15-20 minutes.

Mix milk, cream, sugar, salt. Drain rice, keep aside.

Heat ghee in a heavy pan.

Add cumin seeds, cinnamon, bayleaf, cardamoms, cloves.

Allow to splutter. Add rice and fry in ghee for 2 minutes.

When boil is reached, cover and simmer till cooked.

Each grain should be cooked, but separate.
