1. Prepare the Kashmiri masala. Heat the oil (or ghee) in a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat and add the cumin, cloves, fennel, bay leaves, and asasfoetida they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the potatoes and cook, stirring until golden, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the rice and cook, stirring, about 3 minutes, then add the carrots, cauliflower, and peas. Cook a few minutes, then mix in the tomatoes, green chili pepper, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and salt and cook, stirring, another 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pan (partially at first, until the foam subsides, then snugly), and cook until the rice is done, about 10 to 15 minutes. Do not stir the rice while it is cooking. Remove from heat, lightly mix the cilantro, then allow the rice to rest about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, fluff with a fork and serve.
