Cómo preparar Basmati Rice With Black Cardamom
- Gently split open 4-6 black cardamom pods and carefully remove the seeds, discarding the pods.
- Using a mortar and pestle (or a coffee grinder), lightly crush the black cardamom seeds to release their aroma. Avoid pulverizing them into a powder.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add the crushed black cardamom seeds and 1 bay leaf. Stir gently for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1 cup of basmati rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the grains appear milky and opaque (about 3 minutes).
- Pour in 2 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover the pan tightly, and cook for 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let the rice steam, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
