	Julesong / All my dishes 2 years, 1 month ago Tonight when making a Rogan Josh Lamb I wanted a special rice to go along with it, so I put together this combination… and I was very pleased with how it came out! I’ll be making rice this way for years to come. It’s absolutely delicious, and wonderfully aromatic.... More Prep:5m Cook:21m Servings:4	Julesong

Ingredients

3 cups water*

1 teaspoon granulated chicken bouillon or vegetarian chicken bouillon*

1 1/2 cups basmati rice

10 whole cardamom pods

1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

Directions

In a saucepan combine the water and bouillon and stir well. (The idea of the small amount of bouillon is to barely flavor and salt the liquid, but not to make the rice taste “chickeny.” You can increase the amount of bouillon if you like, but I think it was perfect this way.) Bring to boiling.

Add the remaining ingredients, stir, and allow to boil together for 1 minute.

Turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let sit for 20 minutes. It’s done! Fluff the rice and serve.

*Note: if you don’t have chicken bouillon or vegetarian chicken bouillon, or if you’d rather, you can probably use 2 cups water and 1 cup chicken broth instead, with much the same result.

Do you open the cardomom pods and let all the dear little seeds out? I LOVE cardomom.

Hi, Riverznnd - no, I put them whole into the rice. Some of them were cracked, but the seeds stayed in the pods.

PS: I almost always get my herbs and spices from Penzeys.com. Great selection and the products are always fresh! :)

There's a Penzey's in Portland, Oregon, but that's the closest one to us. We always order from them online, too. :)
