2. Melt the oil in a very large fry pan over medium high heat. Quickly cook the onions, moving them around the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula. It should take no more than 10 minutes at the most for the onions to get nicely browned. Now add ginger garlic paste and saute it for 2 mins.
3. Add vegetables and cook stirring, until the vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes.
4. Reduce the heat to very low, give the rice a very thorough stir, and cover the pot.
5. Finally add turmeric powder,chilli powder and salt. Mix all of them nicely and cook until the rice is tender but with a little bite, about 5 minutes. Do not uncover the pot or stir the rice while it cooks. Fluff with a fork before serving. Stir in the scallions and transfer to a serving bowl.
