Chand Ingredients

Method

Chand Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Thoroughly rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Ghee

    In a large pot, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

  3. 3

    Add Spices

    Add the green cardamom, bay leaf, turmeric powder, and salt to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice

    Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir it into the spices. Pour in the water and bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and all the water is absorbed.

  6. 6

    Toast Nuts and Raisins

    In a separate small pan, toast the cashew nuts and raisins in a little ghee until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Fluff the rice with a fork, then gently mix in the toasted cashew nuts and raisins. Serve warm as a side dish or main course.
