When adding water, be careful: if you use one cup of rice, add one and a half times the amount of water, i.e., one and a half cups of water for one cup of rice.

After adding water, let it boil. Add two teaspoons of ghee. This prevents the rice from sticking. Add finely chopped coriander and mint leaves and mix.
