Ingredients:

One cup Jaggery
3 tbsp Ghee
One inch-sized Cinnamon
2 Cloves
2 Cardamom
15-20 Cashews
1/2 cup Coconut [as small pieces]
15-20 Raisins
3 and 1/4 cups Water
1 cup Raw Rice [washed]

Step 1 – Jaggery Rice Pre-preparation:

Take a pan and add 1 cup of jaggery with 1/4 cup of water. Turn the flame on with low heat. Cook the jaggery well until it dissolves. Filter the juice of it in a bowl and keep it aside.

Step 2 – Making Jaggery Rice:

Retake a pan and heat at medium heat. Get 3 tbsp of ghee in a pan. Add one inch-sized cinnamon, two cloves, two cardamoms, 15 to 20 cashews, and fry for a minute. Take 1/2 cup of coconut and cut into small pieces. Add and mix it. Add 15 to 20 raisins and cook the mixture until the raisins blow up.

Pour 3 cups of water and let it boil. Add the washed raw rice of 1 cup once it starts boiling. You can use basmati rice too. Stir it occasionally and let the rice cook thoroughly. Pour the melted jagger as made earlier on to it and mix well. Cover with lid and cook for 15 to 20 minutes at reduced low heat and turn off the flame. Let the jaggery rice cool down, and it is ready to serve!
