Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups basmati rice (available at Indian markets, specialty foods stores and some supermarkets)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 small onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
12 whole black peppercorns
8 whole cloves
6 whole cardamom pods
3 bay leaves
1 cinnamon stick
4 cups water
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1/4 cup chopped cashews
1/4 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Rinse rice under cold running water. Place rice in large bowl. Add enough water to cover by 3 inches. Let stand 20 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until golden, about 8 minutes. Add cumin, peppercorns, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves and cinnamon; sauté until onions are brown, about 4 minutes.
