Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
2 cups uncooked basmati rice
1 small onion, chopped
4 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
2 whole cinnamon sticks
1 large bay leaf

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the basmati rice and onion until the rice kernels are coated with butter and the onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. The rice will give off a slightly toasted fragrance. Pour in water, and mix in salt, cinnamon sticks and bay leaf.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the saucepan, and simmer the rice until all the water has disappeared and the rice appears dry, about 18 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

The rice was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I would still recommend this recipe to others, but I would suggest using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
