Instructions
- First, take the jaggery and soak it in ¾ cup water for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Pick, clean and wash the rice. Soak the rice for 15 to 20 minutes.
- In a stovetop pressure cooker add the rice and ¾ cup water.
- Pressure cook for 2 to 3 minutes on medium to medium high heat. The rice should be half cooked. Once the pressure settles down on its own, then only open the cooker lid.
- Fluff the rice in the cooker itself with a fork.
- Add the jaggery dissolved in water plus the oil. Stir it gently with the half cooked rice.
- Now add the cardamom, cloves, bay leaf, raisins and peanuts.
- Stir this too gently with the rice mixture.
- Now close the cooker with the lid and pressure cook again for 2 to 3 minutes on medium heat.
- When the pressure falls down on its own in the pressure cooker then only open the lid.
- Garnish the cooked jaggery rice with dry fruits and nuts of your choice.
- Serve jaggery rice hot or warm, as it is or with some milk.
Notes
- The recipe can be scaled to make a big batch of the jaggery rice.
- Use a good quality and fresh jaggery which is in its shelf life. Don't use jaggery which has become rancid or has moulds or insects.
- Preferably use aged basmati rice.
- You can add your choice of nuts and dry fruits. The addition of peanuts is optional and can be skipped.
