This rice may be served in one large bowl or, for an eye-catching individual presentation, shaped into small pyramids by pressing it into a three-inch metal pyramid mold.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups basmati rice
Grated zest of 2 lemons
8 whole green cardamom pods, lightly cracked open
2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 three-inch cinnamon sticks, halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Rinse rice in a sieve under cool running water. Transfer to a medium saucepan with 3 1/2 cups water. Add the zest of 1 lemon, cardamom, salt, and cinnamon. Cover; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Cook, covered, until water evaporates, about 10 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Use a fork to fluff the rice, and transfer to a serving platter, remove cardamom and cinnamon if desired, and sprinkle with remaining lemon zest.
