In a large wok, add the oil, cumin seeds, bay leaves & cardamom.
Then add the Onions and cook till slightly translucent. Add the leeks and carrots and sauté for a few minutes. Then add the Potatoes & Cauliflower and cook for 10 minutes on a low flame.
Add the French beans and rice that has been drained. Mix well and then add the salt, turmeric, coriander powder and red chilli powder. You want the masalas to coat the rice well.
