Ingredients
  

  • 250 g basmati rice (I used brown rice)
  • 500 g water
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 4 whole cardamom pods
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Heat up a pot (dry). When the pot is hot enough, add the cumin seeds and dry roast them for 1-2 minutes. Afterwards, add the oil, bay leaves and the cardamom pods and fry for another minute
  • Add the rice and the water, stir it up and let it simmer for about 25 min (until there's no more water). Towards the end, turn the hob to low so that the rice doesn't stick to the pot
  • When the water evaporated, stir the rice and try to remove the pods and the bay leaves. Enjoy it along side an Indian curry (goes best with Coconut Rajma)
