Ingredients
- 1 c basmati rice
- water for rinsing and soaking
- 1 tbsp ghee
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- ⅛ tsp cumin powder
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon powder
- pinch cloves powder
- ½ c chopped yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ tsp fresh grated ginger
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 ½ c vegetable stock
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Rinse 1 c basmati rice until the water runs clear.
- Put the rice in a large bowl and add water until the water is at least two inches above the rice. Soak for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, drain the water and set aside the rice.
- Heat the pan over medium heat and melt the 1 tbsp ghee.
- Add the dry herbs: 1 tsp turmeric powder, ⅛ tsp cumin powder, ⅛ tsp cinnamon powder, and pinch cloves powder. Stir until the spices are fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the ½ c chopped yellow onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the 3 cloves garlic and ½ tsp fresh grated ginger. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the ½ tsp kosher salt and ¼ tsp black pepper Mix.
- Add the soaked 1 c basmati rice and 1 bay leaf and mix. Try to scrape down the pan to get all the seasonings combined.
- Add the 1 ½ c vegetable stock and stir. Use a spatula to smooth out the top of the rice so it’s an even layer.
- Bring the water to a boil and then lower to medium heat so the water is simmering, uncovered. Continue to cook until you see the top layer of rice appear above the water.
- Lower the heat to low so that it remains at a simmer, and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes and do not open the lid during this step.
- After 10 minutes, turn off the heat, and move the pot to a cool burner. DO NOT lift the lid. Let the pot rest for an additional 5 minutes.
- After resting, lift the lid and use the spatula to fluff up the rice and mix the seasonings evenly. Serve immediately.
