Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 inch cinnamon
- 2 to 3 cloves
- 2 to 3 green cardamoms
- 2 to 3 black peppercorns
- ½ cup thinly sliced onions or 1 medium-sized onion
- ½ to 1 teaspoon sugar or ½ to 1 teaspoon raw sugar
- 2 tablespoons ghee or oil
- 1.5 to 2 cups water or as needed
- salt as required
Instructions
- Soak the basmati rice in enough water for 20 to 30 minutes. After 20 to 30 minutes, drain the water from the soaked rice. Set the rice aside.
- Heat oil or ghee in a thick bottomed pot. Add the cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and black pepper. You can also add 1 tej patta. Fry the whole spices on a low heat till they get fragrant.
- Add the sliced onions. Stir and fry the onions till they get translucent and are softened.
- Now add sugar and stir. Continue frying the onions till they caramelize or get browned.
- The sugar will also caramelize. Keep on stirring in between to ensure even browning.
- When the onions have got browned, quickly remove some onions for garnishing. They will have sweet taste and will be a little sticky due to the caramelization of sugar.
- Add the rice and gently stir. Pour 1.5 to 2 cups water or as required. Add salt and stir.
- Cover tightly and let the rice cook till done and all the water is absorbed.
- Check once or twice when the rice is cooking.
- If the water is all absorbed and the rice is not cooked completely, then add a few tablespoons of hot water.
- Don't stir as you don't want to break the rice grains. Cover and cook the rice for 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Serve Parsi Brown Rice garnished with the fried onions with dhansak, patio or dal.
