Instructions:
Preparing the rice: Rinse the Basmati rice several times in cold water until the water runs clear. Then soak the rice in water for 20 minutes. After the time has passed, drain the rice.
Toasting the spices: In a medium pot, melt the ghee (or butter) over medium heat. Add the whole cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaf. Toast the spices for about 1-2 minutes until they release their aroma.
Cooking the rice: Add the drained rice to the pot and stir, coating the grains with the fat and spices. Cook for about 1 minute.
Adding water: Pour in 2 cups of water and add salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the rice simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Finishing: After cooking, remove the pot from the heat and let the rice rest for 5 more minutes before uncovering and fluffing it with a fork.
Economic (measuring cups):
We will pour the spices into a paper bag for you, as if you were buying spices at the market. The bag will be labeled with the name of the spice. After delivery, we recommend transferring your spices into a spice jar or resealable container to maintain their quality. This option is recommended for replenishing home supplies.
Gift packaging (doypack):
We will send you the spices in a gift resealable doypack bag with a transparent window. The bag looks very nice, and it will keep your spices fresh and fragrant for a long time. The bag can be refilled repeatedly. Choose this option if you don't have other resealable storage for spices or if you want to give it as a gift.
