PILAU RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a pan until the butter melts.
• Add the onion and cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes until softened.
• Add in the cumin seeds, cardamom pods, cloves, turmeric and bay leaves. Heat through, whilst stirring for a further minute.
• Add the rice and stir to coat in the spices.
• Add the boiling water, stir once and bring back to the boil, then place a lid on the pan and turn the heat down to very low (I use the lowest heat if cooking on gas, or setting 5 (of 10) for induction). Cook for 20 minutes.
• Once cooked, turn the heat off. Leave the lid for a few minutes, then remove the lid, fluff the rice using a fork and serve. You can discard the cardamom and bay leaves.
