Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, finely sliced
• 3cm stick of cinnamon
• 4 cardamom pods, bashed
• 2 cloves
• 1 tsp tumeric
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 bay leaves
• 300g basmati rice

Recipe

1. Add all ingredients except the rice to a bowl
2. Cover loosely and cook for 5 minutes on high followed by 5 on 50%, until the onions are very soft
3. Stir in the rice, ensuring it becomes well coated in the onions & spices
4. Pour in 600ml of water and cook at 100%, checking every so often until all the water has been absorbed, which will take about 15 minutes (be careful not to overcook as it will start to stick together and become stodgy)
