Masala Bhath (Spicy Rice)

Ingredients

Basmati rice - 12.3 oz
Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons
Toasted Cumin Seeds - 2 teaspoons
Mild Chili Spice - 1 piece
Ground Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
Ground Nutmeg - 1 teaspoon
Grated Ginger Root - 1 teaspoon
Cardamom - 2 teaspoons
Chopped Green Onions - 2 tablespoons
Water - 28 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Rinse the rice well, soak for 15 minutes, then drain in a colander for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Pour salted water into a pot and bring to a boil. Heat vegetable oil in a medium-sized pot and sauté the cumin seeds and chili. When the cumin seeds start to darken, add cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and nutmeg. Stir quickly, add the rice, and continue to stir.

Step 3

After 1-2 minutes, when the rice is slightly toasted, pour in boiling water, cover the pot with a lid, and reduce the heat to low.

Step 4

Without lifting the lid or stirring, cook for 15-18 minutes until the rice absorbs all the water. Remove the lid and keep the pot uncovered on low heat for a few minutes.
