Scale

Instructions

  1. Pour a cup of basmati rice into a saucepan.
  2. Fill the pan halfway with water and place it under the kitchen faucet.
  3. You need to gently whisk the rice and water together with your fingertips.
  4. You should remove as much water as possible by tilting the pan. (It’s fine if there’s some water in it.)
  5. Steps 2 – 4 should be repeated two more times. The third time through, you will find that the water will be less hazy.
  6. You can now add the water that was left aside for cooking after it has been washed.
  7. Proceed to heat the pan to high.
  8. You should combine and add the cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and ghee or oil to the cooking pot.
  9. Make sure you stir often to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  10. Turn off the heat after the rice grains have doubled in size (this could be approximately 15 minutes).
  11. You can strain the rice to remove any extra water with a sieve.
  12. To make the rice in the strainer fluffy, go ahead to whisk it with a fork.
  13. Place in a serving dish and serve.
