Now add ginger garlic paste, green chilies and saute until the raw smell vanishes. To this add turmeric powder and salt. Mix well. After a minute, add yogurt, coriander leaves chopped and give a fine stir. Check for salt. When done, add the drained rice and fried onion. Mix to coat well in the masala.
• Now pour 4.5 cups of hot water to it (quantity of water is taken on the basis of rice taken,,,ie..  1 cup of rice = 1.5 cups of hot water) .
