  • 1 cup
  • 1 piece
  • 4 whole

  • 1 teaspoon
  • 4 cups
  • 2 tablespoons, chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until golden brown.

  3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Stir in the diced carrot and green peas, cooking for another 2 minutes.

  5. Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaf to the pot, mixing well with the vegetables.

  6. Mix in the rinsed rice, ensuring each grain is coated in the spice and vegetable mixture.

  7. Pour in the water and salt. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.

  8. Cook the rice for about 18-20 minutes until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.

  9. Remove from heat and let the pot sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  10. Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with chopped coriander leaves, and serve hot.


Notes

For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of saffron soaked in warm water to the rice before cooking.
