How to Make Cinnamon Basmati Rice
- Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 1 ½ cups of water, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 whole cloves, and ½ teaspoon cumin seeds.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove from heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving. Garnish with extra cinnamon, if desired.
