Title: Saffron & Nuts Rice
Categories: Indian, Rice
Yield: 2 Servings

1 c Basamati rice
2 c Water; for cooking the rice
2 Cloves
2 ts Saffron; dissolved with:
2 tb Milk; warm
1/4 c Nuts (slivered almonds)
- (optional)
1/4 c Raisins (optional)
Salt; to taste
2 tb Ghee
Cilantro;
- chopped, for serving

Pick the rice and wash it thoroughly in a flowing stream of water 2
to 3 times. Once washed, soak the rice in water for 1 hour. In a deep,
heavy-bottomed pot with lid, add ghee and let it warm on low heat.
Once warm add the cloves to the pot and let crackle, about 30
seconds. Add the nuts next and cook for another 20 seconds until they
are light brown. Add the soaked rice along with water, saffron
dissolved in warm milk, salt to taste, and raisins, if using, and
combine well. Cover & let the mix come to a boil on high heat. Once
boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low and let cook until all
the water has evaporated and the rice has cooked, about 12 to 15
minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Before
serving fluff up with a fork and serve warm along with lamb chops & a
salad or raita.
