Grind to a fine paste adding very lil water:
pattai, 2 krambu, 2 yelakkai, 1/2-3/4 tsp sombu,
4 big cloves garlic, 1/2 that qty ginger,
4-5 plump pearl onions, 3 tbsp coconut,
green chilly to taste, salt. turmeric and lil chilly pwd.

Heat oil+ghee. Saute 1 onion sliced and saute till transparent.
Add the paste and saute well until raw flavour goes off and u can smell a nice aroma. approx 5 mins.
Now add the veggies,saute for a minute.
Add the rice+water. cook for 2 whistles.
Done!
