Prepare the Rice: Rinse the basmati rice under cold running water until the water is clear. Soak the rice in ample water for 20-30 minutes. Drain it completely using a fine-mesh sieve and set aside.
Fry Garnish: Heat coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the cashews and sauté for 1-2 minutes until they turn a light golden brown. Add the raisins and cook for another 30 seconds until they puff up. Remove both with a slotted spoon and reserve for garnish.
Temper Spices: In the same pot with the remaining oil, add the whole spices: cinnamon stick, cloves, crushed green cardamom, and star anise. Sauté for about 30-45 seconds until they release their aroma.
Sauté Aromatics: Add the thinly sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until they become soft and translucent. Add the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chillies, and sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
Toast the Rice: Add the turmeric powder and stir for a few seconds. Add the drained rice to the pot. Gently sauté for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to break the grains. This step helps make the rice fluffy and non-sticky.
Cook the Rice: Pour in the coconut milk and water. Add the salt and stir gently to combine. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
Heat ghee in a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Swirl the pan to ensure the ghee coats the bottom evenly.
Gently crack the eggs into the hot pan, leaving space between them. Be careful not to break the yolks.
Immediately sprinkle the salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and black pepper powder evenly over the eggs.
Cook for 2-3 minutes. For a runny yolk (sunny-side up), cook until the whites are completely set. For a jammy yolk, cover the pan with a lid for the last minute of cooking to steam the top. For a fully cooked yolk, gently flip the egg and cook for another 30-60 seconds.
Using a spatula, carefully slide the fried eggs onto a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve immediately.
Simmer and Steam: Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked through. Do not open the lid during this time.
Rest and Serve: Turn off the heat and let the rice rest, covered and undisturbed, for at least 5-10 minutes. This allows the grains to firm up. Open the lid, gently fluff the rice with a fork, and garnish with the fried cashews, raisins, and chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot.
