Steps:
- In a small bowl or Arabian coffee cup (perfect size) put saffron, rose water and the cardamom.
- Wash the white Basmati rice until the water runs clear.
- In a large heavy pot boil the water.
- Stir in salt and rice and return water to a boil stirring occasionally.
- Boil uncovered for 8 minutes.
- Drain.
- Melt the butter or ghee in the same pan the rice was cooked. Add the rice back in with sugar and or honey.
- Sprinkle the rose water and spices on top of the rice.
- Using the end of a wooden spoon, make 3 small holes in the rice.
- Cover the pan with a paper towel and place lid tightly on top.
- Cook over low heat about 20 minutes, until done. (I personally leave the dish on one of the vents from the oven to my stove which is underneath when the oven is preheated at 325F until serving up to 2 hours later).
- Please try this dish with Recipe #372093 because they go extremely well together.
- Enjoy.
