Comment préparer Basmati Rice Indian Style
- Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear.
- Place the rinsed rice in a bowl and cover with 1 1/2 cups of water. Let it soak for 20 minutes. (This step is crucial for fluffy rice!)
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1 cinnamon stick, 3 green cardamom pods (lightly crushed), 4 cloves, and 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds. Cook and stir for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, to the pot. Sauté until a rich golden brown, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Drain the soaking water from the rice.
- Add the drained rice to the pot and stir gently for a few minutes, until lightly toasted.
- Add 2 1/2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving. Remove the cinnamon stick and spice pods before serving.
