Mean while, chop all the vegetables finely. Since there is no pressure boiling of vegetables involves, chopping into very tiny pieces is a must. When you fry them in the oil, vegetables will lose their rawness yet remain crunchy along with the rice. This is what makes the fried rice unique.

Also chop onion and garlic.

Now take a wide thick bottom pan. Pour about 4 spoons of cooking oil.

Once hot, add bay leaves, cumin seeds and cashews to the pan. Sauté for a minute.
