Methi Leaves- 1 bunch
Basmathi Rice- 1 cup
Biriyani Masala powder- 1-2 tspn
Green chillies- 4
Tomato-2
Green peas- 1 small Cup
Ginger Garlic paste- 1 tspn
Onions chopped- 1
Cumin Powder- 1 tspn
Kasuri Methi powder- 1 tspn
Lemon juice- Taste wise( Optional)
Ghee or Oil- 1 tbspn

Add Methi leaves and let to cook for 5 mins. Add Tomatoes and green peas. Let it cook for a while. Add Biriyani masala powder and cumin powder.
In to this mixture add the soaked rice and fry for 2 mins. Add salt in to it.Finally Add the kasuri methi powder( Dried fenugreek powder)
Place this whole mixture in rice cooker by adding 1.5 cups of water and cook it. Do not add more water, as tomato will also leave out some water while cooking.
