After boiling them together on low flame for some time, she removes the petals from the vessel. She adds the soaked rice to the blue liquid in the pot. She cooks it on medium flame for about 20 minutes. Later she adds salt and ghee on top. In another vessel she heats ghee and adds whole spices. She also adds cashew nuts, raisins, chopped onion and chopped green chillies. She mixes the earlier blue rice with this masala base.
