Studded with exotic spices, this beautifully perfumed pilau rice dish is a wonderfully versatile accompaniment, and can be served as part of any main course.
400g Basmati rice
1¾ tbs Unsalted Butter, or Ghee (clarified butter)
Green Cardamom
1 x 5cm Cinnamon sticks, or the equivalent measurement in Ground Cinnamon
2 Bay Leaves
1 Onion
2 tsp mixed grated Ginger root and grated Garlic
600 ml hot water
¾ tsp Salt
1. Wash the rice in cold water three times, drain and set aside.
2. Heat the ghee in a pan and when melted, add the cardamom pods, cinnamon and bay leaves and stir.
3. Add the onions and stir until softened and translucent. Then stir in the ginger and garlic mixture.
4. Add the drained rice to the pan, stirring gently, so that the rice grains don't break. Pour in the hot water, then add the salt and stir. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on a high heat until the water starts to boil.
5. Boil for 3 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer over a low heat for 15 minutes.
6. Serve hot as an accompaniment, as part of a main course.
