6 servings
- •1.5 cups basmati rice
- •2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- •1 (2 inch) piece cinnamon stick
- •2 pods green cardamom
- •2 whole cloves
- •1 tablespoon cumin seed
- •1 small onion, thinly sliced
- •2.5 cups water
- •1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Place rice into a bowl with enough water to cover. Set aside to soak for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in the last 10 minutes of soaking, heat oil in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat. Add cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and cloves, then stir in cumin seed. Cook and stir until fragrant and toasted, about a minute, then add onion to the pot. Saute onion until the color is a rich golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Drain water from rice, and stir into the pot. Cook and stir rice until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Add water and salt, and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low.
- Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving.
