Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup basmati rice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
¼ teaspoon cumin seeds
2 cardamom pods
2 whole cloves
½ (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick
1 ¾ cups water
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup thinly sliced onion
¼ cup green peas
2 tablespoons cashews
2 tablespoons slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice in 3 or 4 changes of water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a saucepan with a tight fitting lid over medium-high heat. Pour in the cumin seeds, and cook briefly until they begin to pop, about 30 seconds. Add the cardamom pods, cloves, and cinnamon stick; continue cooking for another minute until the cinnamon stick absorbs the oil.
  • Pour in the rice, and stir well to completely coat with the oil. Stir in the water, salt, onion, and peas. Bring to a boil, cover with the lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the rice has absorbed all of the water, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Stir in the cashews and slivered almonds; cook until golden brown, then stir into the cooked rice.
