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