Print Recipe

Ingredients

3/4 tsp turmeric .
5-6 whole cloves .
1/2 tsp cumin seeds .
4 c water .
1/2 tsp salt (optional) .
2 c brown basmati rice or white basmati rice (or 2 c a combination of white & brown basmati rice) .
1/3 c sliced onions or 1-2 tsp onion powder

Directions

Step #1 Combine all ingredients except salt (see below) In a large-ish pot & bring to a boil.
Step #2 Reduce to a gentle simmer, cover & let cook 15-20 mins.
Step #3 If you want to do it the really Indian way, stir in the the salt partway through.
Step #4 Personally I never add the salt, but you could probably just add it at the start.
Step #5 Check after 15 min & let it continue to cook till the water's gone.
Step #6 If it starts to stick on the bottom don't worry; take it off the heat.
Step #7 Let the rice sit, mostly covered, for 7-10 mins.
Step #8 This time will allow the rice to firm a litle, & none will be stuck to the pot.
