Ingredients

  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1 cup cashews, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 cardamom pods
  • 3 cloves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups water
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Equipment

  • A medium-sized pot with a lid
  • A large skillet or wok

Method

  1. Wash the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat the ghee or oil in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaf. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
