Sort the rice and wash it under running water. Slice the onion into rings. Melt the ghee in a pot and fry the onion in it. Add the ginger, garlic, and salt to the onion in the pot and stir well. Add the rice, cumin, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon sticks, and peppercorns to the pot and fry for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the water and bring to a boil.
