Step by Step Method

Step 1

Place the rice in a strainer and rinse under cool water until no longer cloudy. Put the rice in a medium bowl, add water to cover, and let sit for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of the ghee in a saucepan over medium high heat. Lightly crack the cardamom pods with the flat edge of a knife and add them to the ghee. Add the cloves, bay leaves and cumin seeds. Cook, stirring continuously, for one minute.

Step 3

Drain the rice and add it to the saucepan. Keep cooking, stirring often, until the rice grains are completely coated with the ghee mixture. This is take about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the water and salt, and bring to a high boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover pan, and cook until the water has mostly evaporated - about 10-12 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes, covered. Remove and discard the cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaves. Add the remaining tablespoon of ghee, and fluff with a fork.

Step 6

Garnish with the chopped cilantro right before serving.
