Step by Step guide

Step 1

Rinse the rice well and soak it in cold water for 10–15 minutes. Drain the water. Bring the cooking water (two cups) to a boil.

Step 2

Place a pot (preferably with a thick bottom) over medium heat, pour in the oil, add all the spices, and quickly sauté them for a maximum of one minute while stirring. Add the rice, mix well, and sauté the rice in the spices for another 2–3 minutes.

Step 3

Pour water over the rice, add salt, bring to a boil, and cook for about 3 minutes over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook until the rice is done.

Step 4

Serve hot rice with a piece of butter as a side dish to meat or fish dishes. Aromatic masala rice will diversify your daily menu and serve as an interesting alternative to plain white rice.
