Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups basmati rice; 3 1/2 cups water; 3 tablespoons oil; 1 teaspoon young ginger root, minced; 1 medium onion, chopped; 1 teaspoon cumin seed; 1 teaspoon red chili powder; 3 cardamom pods; 1 cinnamon stick; 4 whole cloves; 2 teaspoons salt; 2 tablespoons coriander leaves, chopped

Servings: persons

2 cups basmati rice
3 1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon young ginger root, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon red chili powder
3 cardamom pods
1 cinnamon stick
4 whole cloves
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons coriander leaves, chopped

1
Clean the rice thoroughly. Soak for at least 1/2 hour in 2 cups of the water.
2
Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Add the ginger and onions and fry on medium heat for a few minutes - just until it begins to brown.
3
Slightly crush the cumin seed, cloves, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods and red chili. Don't pulverize, just crush enough to release flavor. Add the crushed spices to the onions. Fry for a few more minutes.
4
Carefully pour the water off of the rice and into the cooking pan (the rice will be added later). Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of water to the pan. Bring this water/onion/spice mixture to a boil.
5
Add the rice and salt to the boiling pot. Stir gently.
6
Cover with a tight lid and allow the rice to cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork and garnish with the chopped coriander leaves.
7
Serve with curry - Thermomix Yogurt Chicken is excellent, or Kavita Singh's Tardka Daal or yogurt. I've posted the recipes for the chicken and daal on Food.com.
