Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Rice

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for 30 minutes.

2

Cook the Spices

In a large pot, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaf. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3

Add Rice and Water

Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pot. Stir gently to coat the rice with the ghee and spices. Add the water and salt, and bring to a boil.

4

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 water is absorbed.

5

Fluff and Serve

Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with fresh coriander leaves, and serve warm.
