Ghee rice.

You need

• 1 cup basmati rice, washed and soaked for 20 minutes
• 2 tbsp Govindam Deshi Ghee
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 green cardamom
• 1 small stick cinnamon
• 10 cashews
• 1 3/4 cups hot water
• Salt to taste

Method

1. Drain the soaked rice well.
2. Heat the ghee in a heavy pan. Fry the cashews until golden and lift them out.
3. Add the cumin, bay leaf, cardamom and cinnamon. Let them crackle.
4. Add the rice and stir gently for 2 minutes so every grain is coated in ghee.
5. Pour in the hot water, add salt and bring it to a boil. Cover, turn the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes.
6. Turn off the heat and leave it covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and top with the cashews.

Tip. Serve it with dal tadka. A spoon of ghee over hot rice and dal is the whole point.
