i have used ghee but you can use oil+ghee also.
If you have ready made roasted onions you can use that also.
You can add green chilies if you want the rice to be spicy.
I have used the stock cubes you can skip that and use the only the vegetable stocks.
Adjust the salt as per you taste bud. I didn't add salt because the stock cube itself salty.
