Steps to make Jackfruit and Chickpea Pulao/Pilaf/Biryani (Pressure Cooker Method):

While the rice is soaking, you can fry the onions and chop the rest of the ingredients like green chilies, tomatoes, onions, mint and coriander leaves. - - If using canned chickpeas, drain and wash in plenty of water and drain again. - - Drain the jackfruit (if using canned), wash, drain again and shred to bite sized pieces.
3. Drain the soaked rice in a colander until fully drained. - - Once the deep fried onions are ready, you can start to make the biryani. - - Making the pulav/biryani: - Heat the oil (or oil plus ghee) in a large pressure cooker or pan. - - Once the oil is hot, add the whole spices (cloves, cardamom, bay leaf, star anise, cumin seeds, fennel and cinnamon); stir until aromat; few seconds. - - Tip in the chopped or sliced red onions and fry again on medium heat until just softened.
4. Add the ginger paste and garlic paste and fry again until the raw smell reduces; a few seconds. - - Stir in the green chilies and chopped tomatoes and fry again until the tomatoes are cooked and soft.
5. At this stage, mix in the spice powders: coriander, cumin, red chilli and turmeric powders; mix well and sauté again for a minute, taking care not to burn the spices. If needed, sprinkle a little water. - - Add the yogurt and mix well. Stir in the chickpeas and jackfruit and stir again. Mix in some salt and cook on medium heat for a few minutes to incorporate the spices a bit.

7. Add half of the fried onions, salt to taste and pour 1 ½ cups of hot water over it. Mix well and close the pressure cooker. Place the weight on top.
