Ingredients
- 4 cups long-grain basmati rice, rinsed until the water runs clear, then air-dried
- 1 teaspoon cloves
- 1 tablespoon cardamom pods
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine rice, cloves, cardamom pods, and cinnamon. Measure out 2 cups and place in a saucepan. (Reserve the rest in an airtight container for another time: rice will get more fragrant over time.) Add 4 cups of water and bring the rice to a boil, uncovered.
- When the water is boiling, stir the rice gently; then reduce heat to a low simmer. Cover and cook, 20 minutes. Do not remove the lid during the cooking time.
- After 20 minutes, remove the lid and, using a two-pronged fork, fluff the rice. Place in a bowl to serve.
