Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups brown basmati rice (or 2 cups a combination of white and brown basmati rice) or 2 cups white basmati rice (or 2 cups a combination of white and brown basmati rice)
4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
3/4 teaspoon turmeric
5 -6 whole cloves
1/3 cup chopped onions or 1 -2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

Steps:

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