When oil is hot add carrots, beans, cabbage capsicum, stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Take care that vegetables are not overdone, they should be crisp and keep aside.
Now heat oil and ghee in a wok, add all the seasoning ingredients, when seeds are crackel the add rice, vegetables, pulao masala, sugar and salt, cashew nuts and raisin, mix well with rice for a couple of minutes over low flame.
