Recipe Summary Indian Style Basmati Rice

This is a savory Indian style rice dish flavored with whole spices and fried onions. Soaking the basmati rice before cooking makes all the difference. Serve with your favorite Indian curry or dal (lentils). Make sure you warn people not to bite into the whole spices!

Ingredients | Indian Style L Shaped Kitchen Design

1 ½ cups basmati rice

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 (2 inch) piece cinnamon stick

2 pods green cardamom

2 whole cloves

1 tablespoon cumin seed

1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

2 ½ cups water

1 small onion, thinly sliced

Directions

Place rice into a bowl with enough water to cover. Set aside to soak for 20 minutes.

Heat the oil in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat. Add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and cumin seed. Cook and stir for about a minute, then add the onion to the pot. Saute the onion until a rich golden brown, about 10 minutes. Drain the water from the rice, and stir into the pot. Cook and stir the rice for a few minutes, until lightly toasted. Add salt and water to the pot, and bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving.
