When I grew up as a child in India, I always enjoyed this wonderful festive rice which was served at weddings or other special occasions. Also good with Indian curry.
Ingredients
- ¼ teaspoon saffron threads or ground turmeric
- 6 cups boiling water
- ½ cup vegetable shortening
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 (1 inch) pieces cinnamon stick
- 4 whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 10 cardamom seeds
- 4 ½ cups long-grain white rice
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Place saffron threads into boiling water, set aside to steep.
Step 2
Melt the vegetable shortening in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the onions, and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Season with cinnamon sticks, cloves, ginger, cumin, garlic powder, and cardamom seeds. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes to release the flavor, stirring constantly.
Step 3
Pour in the rice and cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the yogurt, saffron water, and salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover pot with a cloth folded into 4 layers. Place a lid over the cloth and cook until the rice is done, about 20 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and cardamom seeds before serving.
