Well do you agree with me? The carbs in rice are for the soul and always so comforting, curries are possibly incomplete without rice - and I can’t eat Rajma with Roti (sorry if that hurts anyone 🙈) but I take my Rajma Rice or Kadhi Chawal combination very seriously 😝 
.
What’s cooking? Episode 6 - Shahi Jeera Rice - “The Desi Thali 1.0” series would have been incomplete without this essential of all times 🥰 Hope you relish it through the frame and come back for the next recipe soon. Detailed recipe and ingredients ⬇️
.
Ingredients 
2 tbsp ghee 
Whole spices - 3 cloves, 1/2 inch cinnamon stick, 1 star anise, 2 green cardamom 
1 small onion, sliced
5-6 cashews, 5-6 almonds
1 cup rice
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups water (if cooking in a pot but if pressure cooking water will be a little less than double)
7-8 saffron stings crushed in 2 tbsp warm milk 
.
Recipe
Rinse rice very well until water is clear, allow to soak for atleast 20 mins. It does make a lot of difference, soak for more if time permits. 
.
To a pan with warm ghee - on low medium heat - add all the whole spices, let sizzle followed by cumin seeds, allow to splutter but not burnt - add in onions, cook until translucent, toss in almonds and cashews and let it roast until onions are golden brown. 
.
Stir in rice, combine well and let toast for a minute for flavors to marry. Add water, salt, bay leaf and bring to a boil - cover and cook on low heat for 20 mins until cooked. Fluff with a fork, gently. optional to stir in 2 tsp saffron milk for an extra vibe and flavor. Pair with your favourite curry 🧡
