Wash sela rice thoroughly and soak for 2 hours.

For jaggery syrup, mix 1 cup water with 500 grams crushed jaggery in a pan and cook for about 5 minutes until combined.

Turn off the heat and let the syrup cool down.

In a large open pot, bring enough water to a boil on high heat.

Once boiling, add the soaked sela rice and stir once, cooking on high flame for 8-10 minutes until fully cooked.

Drain the rice and set aside.

In the same pan, heat 3/4 cup ghee on medium-low heat, adding 7-8 green cardamom pods and the dry fruits, frying until golden.

Strain the jaggery syrup to remove any particles and add it to the pan, bringing it to a boil on high flame.

Add the boiled sela rice to the jaggery syrup and cook on high flame until the syrup dries up.

Add 1/2 cup milk at the end to make the rice soft and fluffy.

Cover the pan tightly with a cloth and steam on low flame for 10-15 minutes.
