Posted by Monica Puri Bangia | Under Indian Cuisine, Sides, Vegetarian Saturday Dec 27, 2008- 1 Cup Basmati Rice
- 2 Cups Chicken Broth
- 2 tblsp Olive Oil
- 4 Cloves
- 1 two inch cinnamon stick
- 1 tsp Salt
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add the cloves and cinnamon. Let the spices heat up and get aromatic (careful not to burn). Add the rice and sauté in the oil and spices for a minute or so or until the rice becomes opaque. Add the chicken broth and the salt. Bring the rice to a boil and lower the flame to medium. Keep the rice half covered while it is still coming to a slow boil. Once most of the broth is evaporated, cover over very low heat.
