Sugar 3 teaspoon
Basmati rice 2 cups. Soaked for 1 hour

Heat 1 tablespoon ghee in a wide vessel
Cut onion long and fry them in ghee
Let the onions caramelise and get crispy
Take out a few of them for garnishing later
Now till the rest pf onion are getting brown, add sugar in the pan keeping onion on one side
Wait for sugar to caramelise. Here I have used the same pan to fry onion as well as to caramelise sugar. You can also caramelise sugar in other pan and transfer to onions.
Sugar will become brownish after heating. Mix it well with onions
Add soaked rice
Add salt and water (2cups). Mix well
Let rice cook till fluffy and soft.
While rice is cooking, in another pan heat one tablespoon ghee.
Slightly roast chopped cranberries and pistachios
Add nutmeg powder and saffron once you switch off flame
