Instructions:

1. Rinse the basmati rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain.
2. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another 2 minutes.
3. Add the chicken to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the mixed vegetables to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
5. Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the pot and stir to combine.
6. Add the rice to the pot and stir to coat with the spices.
7. Add the water and salt to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
8. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5-10 minutes.
9. Fluff the rice with a fork and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.
