Add little oil and add mustard seeds.
When you observe crackling sound, add bay leaf and cumin seeds.
Add onion slices and green chili.
Fry the above ingredients until onions reach light golden brown color.
On other hand cook rice. You can even use already cooked one.
Add grated carrot and curry leaves; let them fry (sauté) until they are tender.
