1
Wash and soak the rice for at least an hour. This helps the rice cook fluffy and less sticky. Heat ghee in a deep and thick-bottomed saucepan (which has a lid). Add the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, cloves and peppercorns.
2
Add cumin seeds. When the seeds crackle, add the soaked rice and saute for 5 minutes.
3
Add the water and season with salt. Make sure the heat is turned on to high. Try to minimize stirring or mixing with a spoon when cooking basmati rice as the grains can easily break.
4
Once you see that the layer of water above the rice has evaporated (takes about 7-10 minutes), reduce the heat to medium, cover with a lid and cook for another 5-7 minutes or till the rice is done.
5
Garnish with chopped mint and coriander leaves.
