In a pressure cooker add 2-3 tsp oil

Add chopped onion

Add required salt

Add all the spices

Prepare paste of ginger garlic and 1 green chilly

Saute well till raw smell goes off.

Add chopped tomatoes saute till mushy.

Add 1 tbsp chilly powder

Add 1 tsp kashmiri red chilly powder

Mix well till bind

Add soaked rice

Mix gently till the masalas bind

For 2 glass rice we need to add 4 glass water 2 for each. But I add 3 glass and reduce 1 glass as we have tomato gravy in it.

Check for salt and spiciness. The water should be little salty and spicy.

Allow to boil well

Close pressure cooker and cook in medium flame for 2 whistles
