Instructions

  • Soaking rice - My mom said, soaking rice is important for this recipe. Soak rice at least for 30 minutes.
    1 cup basmati rice, 3 cups water
  • Preparing rice - Heat ghee in the pan. Add cinnamon, black cardamom, and chopped nuts.
    1 tablespoon ghee / clarified butter, 1 inch cinnamon stick, 1 black cardamom, ¼ cup nuts
  • Saute for a while. Nuts will get a light brown color and will start releasing a nutty fragrance.
  • Add soaked rice along with water. Also, add jaggery and mix everything well.
    ¼ cup jaggery
  • Turn the flame on to a medium setting and cook rice until soft and tender. Check if all the water is absorbed.
  • Rice is ready. Serve hot.
