• Now till the rice is soaked let us now chop/ cut kernel khopra in small pieces , dry dates also in small pieces, but for almonds remove the skin by soaking in warm water then peel off the skin of almonds and cut it in small pieces.
  
• Now take cardamom seeds and remove seeds from it crush the seeds in wet grinder until the seeds turn into powder.
  
• After 10 to 15 minutes now cook the soaked rice on high flame by using gas stove.

• Now add red food colour in the bowl. Here I have taken 1-1/2tspn. you can increase or decrease the quantity depending on your taste.
  
• After adding red food colour stir it well and now add sugar in the bowl . The quantity of sugar depends on the sweetness.
  
• Till the sugar dissolves our rice is cooked not fully. Cook the rice only half.
  
• As the rice is cooked half now drain the excess water with the help of drainer or sieve.
  
• Add the drained rice in the other bowl where sugar is dissolved, and the red food colour is added.
