    Method

    • step 1

      Wash rice in several changes of tap water
    • step 2

      Pour 2 pints of water over rice and soak for half an hour. Drain in a sieve for 20 mins. This will remove the excess starch & help achieve fluffy rice
    • step 3

      Add oil to a large saucepan and heat gently. Add onion & fry until soft and lightly brown.
    • step 4

      Add rice, garlic, spices and seasoning & stir for 3 to 4 mins so all grains are coated with oil and spices
    • step 5

      Pour in chicken stock and bring to boil. Turn to a low heat and cook for 10-15 mins until rice is tender & most/all water has been absorbed.

    I am so glad - the secret is in the rinse/soak of the rice to get rid of the excess starch.

    I loved this recipe. I used to make a real mess of basmati rice, but this was delicious.
