How To Make indian basmati with dry fruits
-
1Put rice in a colander sitting over a bowl and rinse it, swishing around, until the water runs clear, about 4 to 5 times; set aside to drain.
-
2In a medium pot over medium heat, add oil, whole mixed peppercorns, cardamom pods and cinnamon stick. Stir spices to wake them up, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove peppercorns and pods, leaving the cinnamon stick behind.
-
3To this, add butter and when it’s melted and starts to sizzle, throw in onions and red peppers; sauté until soft about 2 minutes. Add cumin, turmeric and garlic; sauté for 1 minute.
-
4Pour in chicken broth and then add rice; season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add dried raisins and dried apricots; stir to combine. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes or until liquid is all absorbed.
-
5Remove from heat and add toasted nuts; cover again and let it sit for 10 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and gently fluff rice with a fork before serving.
