BASMATI RICE WITH FRIED CASHEWS AND RAISINS



Basmati Rice with Fried Cashews and Raisins image

This recipe was inspired by a New Year's Day feast I was invited to starring a huge chicken biryani. I helped the host with the final touches of the meal, including frying some nuts and raisins as a topping. I loved the flavor and texture they brought to the meal. While this recipe is certainly not biryani, the toasted toppings mixed into a lightly spiced rice, takes me back to that special day.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups basmati rice (available at Indian markets, specialty foods stores and some supermarkets)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 small onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
12 whole black peppercorns
8 whole cloves
6 whole cardamom pods
3 bay leaves
1 cinnamon stick
4 cups water
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1/4 cup chopped cashews
1/4 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Rinse rice under cold running water. Place rice in large bowl. Add enough water to cover by 3 inches. Let stand 20 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until golden, about 8 minutes. Add cumin, peppercorns, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves and cinnamon; sauté until onions are brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Add rice to spices and stir 2 minutes. Add 4 cups water, cream, salt and saffron. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover saucepan almost completely and cook until almost all liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Add peas to rice. Cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with nuts and raisins.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final dish will be. Look for fresh, organic produce, and high-quality nuts and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the rice, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
  • Toast the nuts and spices: Toasting the nuts and spices before adding them to the rice will help to release their flavor and aroma.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use to cook the rice will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a broth that is packed with flavor, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth.
  • Let the rice rest: After cooking the rice, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the rice to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.

The combination of cashews, golden raisins, and spices creates a flavorful and aromatic dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
