Warm, Steaming Pulao


Pulao is a simple and easy dish to make.  It is usually made when one has company or when there is a celebration, so it is not something you would make everyday.  It is something anyone can make because it takes so little time and doesn't require that much effort.  Either way it is delicious and made in a snap.

Ingredients:
Basmati Rice: 4 cup
Ghee: 1/2 cup
Cinnamon: 4 small pieces
Cardamom: 4 pieces
Cloves: 2 pieces
Ginger paste: 2 teaspoons
Salt: 1 tablespoon
Boiled water: 7 cups
Kewra water: 2 teaspoons
Green chilies: 5 (optional)
Fried onions: 3 tablespoons

Cooking process:
Rinse the rice and keep it in a colander. In a big pot heat the ghee, and lightly fry the cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves in the ghee. Mix in the ginger with 2 tablespoon of water. Pour the boiled water and salt and then close the lid.

When the water starts bubbling pour in the rice and stir.  After a few minutes pour the Kewra water and green chilies, and sprinkle the fried onions into the pot and close the lid.  In the meanwhile preheat the oven to 350 degrees and then place the pot in the oven for 30 minutes.  Serve it warm with meat or vegetable curry.  Enjoy!
