Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients
1 cup basmati rice
1 small onion
3 medium carrots
1 bay leaf
2 cloves whole
4 black whole peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon light vegetable oil
2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon kosher salt (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Wash the rice in cool water, squeezing gently with your fingers, until the water runs clear. Put the rice in about 2 cups of cool water to soak for 20 minutes. Strain soak water into saucepan and heat. Leave rice to dry in strainer. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. While rice is drying, chop onion finely and set aside. Dice carrots and set aside. When rice is dry, heat oil over medium-high flame in heavy, oven-proof skillet or casserole dish. Add spices. When spices become fragrant, add butter and onions. Cook until onions are tender and light golden brown. Add carrots and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring very gently for 5 minutes. Add salt and heated soak water, bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until water on top of rice has boiled off. Then cover tightly and cook for 20 minutes in a 350 degrees F oven. Remove from oven, let rest for 10 minutes, then serve.
