CARAMELIZED BASMATI RICE

Preparation Method :

• In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. When hot, sprinkle the granulated sugar over the surface and wait until it has caramelized.
• Add the spices and bay leaf. Let sizzle for 10 seconds, then add the rice and salt. Fry gently, for at least a minute.
• Pour in the water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to very low. Cover the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes.
• Remove the rice from the heat and let it stand for some time. Gently fluff up the rice and transfer to a warmed dish to serve.
