Add the chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, coriander powder, saumf powder and sauté for a few seconds. 
Add the coconut milk, Cashew nut paste, Fresh curd - saute well till the oil seeps out.  
Add the coriander leaves and mint leaves and continue to saute for two more minutes. 
Add the smashed boiled egg and two-and-a-half cups of water and salt. 
When the water comes to a boil, add the rice and remaining ghee and mix well.
